ccc. PS. reg. 2, c ; 4, rrr. ND. 1, r. Nov. -July — St. 1-3 ft. long 
rampant climbing usually by the prehensile 1. -stalks. Very 
variable in size, luxuriance and glaucescence of herbage ; less so 
in size and colour of fl. which are mostly from 4-6 lin. long 
more or less deep rose with the tip dark atropurpureous or black, 
seldom pale. Ach. obtuse or equally rounded at top as else- 
where, and neither pointed (apiculate) or mucronate, nor trun- 
cate or refuse ; but either wholly uninterrupted at the apex, 
with the minute short not prominent white scar-like base of 
the style remaining and having a slight dimple or depression on 
each side of it, or else with a minute indistinct or inconspicuous 
notch or crenule : the surface in the living pi. mostly quite even 
or at least comparatively so with that of the following sp. ; yet 
sometimes and especially in the dried pi. very obsoletely ver- 
ruculate or indistinctly rugulose with (as it were) close-shaven 
pimples when examined with a lens. — Var. : 
a. vulgaris ; more or less glaucous ; fr. mostly even, quite entire 
at the apex; sep. toothed. — F. muralis Sond. Alex. Jordan!

where in waste and cultiv. ground ; the commonest of weeds in 
vineyards, gardens, cornfields, by roadsides, in beds of ravines, 
&c. about Funchal and elsewhere. — Varies according to soil or 
exposure : (1), larger more robust and often less glaucescent 
with broader larger lfts. and II. twice as large 4-6 lin. long 
often paler; and (2), smaller more bushy and slender, with 
smaller more finely divided lfts. and smaller darker-coloured fl. : 
the former state occurring in rich or moist soil and shady spots, 
the latter later in the season or in sunny drier places, as amongst 
corn.
