Helleborns occidental is Reuter. With small purple blotches at 
base of sepals. Growing with the normal plant at Winterhead, 
Sidcot, N. Somerset, v.c. 6. April 22, 1919. (See “Journ. Bot. 
1915, pp. 113, 147). — H. S. Thompson. The small purple 
markings on the sepals seem practically to disappear in drying, 
just as they did in the Surrey plant. — C.E.S. 
Fumaria muralis Soncl., subsp. Bonn Jord. (197). Willi- 
ton, S. Somerset, v.c. 5, April 16, 1915. — W. C. Barton. An 
early spring-flowering form, approaching/, rubens mihi. — H.W.P. 
On another specimen, sent at the time of the distribution, Mr. 
Pngsley remarked: “The sheet sent shows a young plant of 
subspecies Bonn just coming into flower, but I cannot see in it 
the features of forma rubens.” 
F. muralis Sond., subsp. Bond Jord. (309 a). Rough open 
ground, Brendon, N. Devon, v.c. 4, Aug. 13, 1917. — W. C. 
Barton. This seems to differ slightly from 309 b and 309 c, in 
that the bracts are longer, the sepals a little larger, and the fruit 
relatively longer. It is perhaps simply a variant, but I should 
not apply the varietal name britannica to it, as it is not typical, 
and should prefer to leave it under F. muralis , subsp. Bored. I 
notice that the fruits of all these plants tend to show a small 
apiculus. I have seen this in other N. Devon and N. Somerset 
examples of var. britannica. — H.W.P. On another specimen, 
-sent at the time of the distribution, Mr. Pngsley remarked : 
“Yes; var. britannica mihi.” 
F. muralis Sond., subsp. Bored Jorch, var. britannica Pngsley 
(309 b). Rough open ground, Brendon, N. Devon, v.c, 4, Sept. 
19, 1917. — W. C. Barton. Most of the specimens show some- 
what luxuriant foliage though rather poor flowers. — H.W.P. 
Also (309 c) same date and locality. — W. C. Barton. These are 
all var. britannica mihi, gathered rather late and rather weak. — 
H.W.P. 
F. par a flora Lam., var. typica Pngsley ? On fen soil, White 
House Farm, Mildenhall Road, Littleport, Cambs., v.c. 29, July 
14, 1919. — J. E. Little. Probably the type, but the plant sent 
vas gathered too young, and shows no fruit. — HAY.P. [Later] 
It may be m y forma Vivianii [“Revision Fumaria & Rupicapnos,” 
n “Journ. Linn. Soc.” xliv. p. 323 (1919)], but the fruit is not 
■ufficientty developed for certainty. 
F. parviflora Lam., var. acuminata Clavaud (conf. H. W 
5 ugsley). With F. officinalis , var. Wirtgeni Hausskn. (det. H. W. 
kigsley), and F. micrantha Lag., on a chalky field on the scarp of the 
ill. Barton Hills, Beds., v.c 30, July 13, 1918. — J. E. Little.
