leones; — Reichenbach Icon, iii, t. 16, fig. 4478, as P. intermedium ; Jordan Icon. Eur. i, t. 10. 
Laminae pinnatipartite ; lobes rather narrow, toothed, teeth more or less acute, terminal lobe 
larger than the lateral ones. Pedicels with the hairs more or less patent. Flower-buds obtuse. 
Flowers intermediate in size between those of P. dubium and P. rkoeas. Petals usually without the 
basal dark spot. Capsules very variable, often even on a single plant, from as broad as long to 
1 -5 times as long as broad, usually somewhat attenuate at the base. 
Cambridgeshire (not uncommon) and doubtless elsewhere, growing among either or both of the putative parents.

Exsiccata : — Billot, 3006, as P. strigosum ; Wirtgen, ix, 438. 
Laminae with the lateral lobes spreading almost at right angles ; the terminal one large, more 
or less largely dentate and irregularly lobed. Stem with spreading hairs. Pedicel with appressed 
hairs. Capsule oboval, gradually attenuate to the base. 
Mr H. N. Dixon (see Journ. Bot. xxx, 309 (1892)) sowed seeds of this form; and out of 10 plants only 2 had appressed 
hairs to the pedicel. As the original plant was not necessarily self-pollinated, it cannot be definitely stated that factorial 
segregation is here proved ; but the result suggests that phenomenon, since, if the plants raised from seed had been Fj hybrids, 
they would probably have all been alike in the character observed. 
Both Rouy and Foucaud (toe. cit.) and Ascherson and Graebner (Ft. Nordost. Flachl. 342 (1898)) suggest that this variety 
may be a hybrid of P. dubmm and P. rkoeas.

Annual. Stem erect, more or less hispid. Leaves sessile, pinnatifid or bipinnatifid ; lobes 
coarsely and irregularly toothed, terminated by a short bristle ; softly hairy. Pedicels with spreading 
hairs. Flowers about 6 — 10 cm. in diameter; May to August. Sepals hairy. Petals bright scarlet 
to crimson, often with a dark purple spot at the base, very broad. Filaments filiform, not broadening 
upwards. Capsule glabrous, about as long as broad, about ro — 15 cm. in length. Stigmas 7 — 12, 
disc more or less convex, the overlapping lobes bending downwards.
