A plant of moderately robust habit and often much branched, 

 suberect or diffuse, but rarely, if ever, climbing to any extent by 

 cirrhose petioles. Leaves irregularly 2-3 pinnatisect, light green 

 or glaucescent, with leaflets cut into oblong, acute, or mucronate 

 lobes, narrower than in F. muralis. Bacemes rather lax and 

 normally many- (15-25) floioered, exceeding the ijeduncles. Bracts 

 linear-oblong, cuspidate, usually less than half as long as the fruit- 

 ing ijedicels, but relatively longer when, as sometimes happens, the 

 pedicels are comparatively short. Fruiting pedicels generally 

 rather long and slender, straight and suberect or erect -spreading. 

 Sepals about 3 mm. long and 1| mm. broad, oval, slightly peltate, 

 more or less deeply serrate, acute, in colour generally rosy with 

 greenish median line, narrower than the corolla-tube and distant 

 below, often persisting on the young fruit. Corolla 10-11 (rarely 

 12) mm. long, pink in colour, with the tip of the inner petals only 

 blackish red. Upper petal rather narroio above and laterally com- 

 pressed, not spathulate in bud, obtuse or acute according as the 

 wings, which are produced some distance backwards towards the 

 spur and often exceed the keel, extend or not to its somewhat 

 tapering apex; spur longer than the sepals. Loioer petal with 

 more or less narrow but distinctly spreading margins. Fruits of 

 moderate size, about 2\ mm. long and equally broad, rotundate, 

 subacute or mor©--i:airely rounded-obtuse, a little laterally com- 

 pressed but obscurely keeled, and generally hardly narroioed beloio 

 to an obscure but broad fleshy neck which, when fresh, equals or 

 even overlaps the tip of the pedicel ; when dry, rugose, but some- 

 times in weak plants obscurely so, with broad and shallow apical 

 pits.
