Description, &c. — This species, though nearly allied to the last, differs in the tuber being solid, and in the 
bracteas being cut. The flowers are large and purple, and the leaves are glaucous. It rarely bears seed, but 
it increases so rapidly by means of its tubers, that when once introduced, it is not easily eradicated. It will 
grow in any common garden soil, and it flowers in April and May. It is said to be a native of Britain, but it 
is very doubtful whether it is so really.

leaves two, bi-ternate ; segments cleft into linear lobes ; bracteas 
cuneated, profoundly cut at the apex, longer than the peduncles j spurs 
straight, long. {G.Don.) 
Description, &c. — A very singular-looking plant, which would scarcely be recognised at first sight as 
belonging to the genus. The flowers are large, of a pale yellow, and with a large gaping mouth ; and the 
leaves are shaped like fans. The species is a native of the Altaic Mountains, and it was introduced in 1832.

Synonymes.— Fumaria nobilis, Willd. ; Great-flowered Fumitory. 
Engravings. — Bot. Mag. 1. 1963 ; Bot. Reg. t. 395 ; and our Jig. 1 
in Plate 16. 
Specific Character. — Stem simple, erect, not scaly ; leaves bi- 
pinnate ; segments cuneated, cut at the top j bracteas acute, entire, or 
cut. (G. Don.) 
Description, &c. — A strong-growing plant, with numerous stem leaves, and a thick succulent stem. The 
flowers all grow on one side, and in a cluster together. This species does not flower till May. It is a native of 
Siberia, introduced in 1783 ; and being quite hardy, it will grow in any soil and situation. The root is tuberous, 
and the species is propagated by dividing it. The flowers are very large, and they have very nearly the 
fragrance of the cowslip. 
6.— CORYDALIS AUREA, MUd. THE GOLDEN CORYDALIS, 
Synonvme. — Fumaria aurea, Ker. 
Ekgraving.— Bot. Reg. t. 66. 
Specific Character. — Stem diffuse, branched; leaves glaucous, 
hi-pinnate ; leaflets pinnatifld and cut ; lobes oblong-linear ; bracteas 
lanceolate-linear, acuminated, denticulated, and, as well as the linear 
ternate capsules, four times longer than the pedicels. (G.Don.) 
Description, &c. — This species is a pretty little plant, with golden yellow flowers, pink stems, and glaucous 
leaves. It is a native of North America, whence it was introduced in 1812. It is a very pretty plant for a 
flower-garden, from the great profusion and golden hue of its flowers ; but it is not so hardy as some of the 
other kinds, as it is easily destroyed either by a very severe or a very wet winter.
