British species of Murales 
4. F. bastardi (see below). Racemes many-flowered, exceeding the peduncles. Sepals oval, 
serrate. Upper petal laterally compressed. Lower petal with narrow spreading margins. Fruit 
rugose, with broad apical pits. 
5. F. martini (p. 179). Racemes many-flowered, exceeding the peduncles. Sepals oval, sub- 
entire. Upt>er petal obscurely dorsally compressed. Lower petal with very narrow spreading margins. 
Fruit smooth or rugulose, with moderate apical pits. 
6. F. muralis (p. 1 79). Racemes generally few-flowered, about equalling the peduncles (or, if 
many-flowered, with shorter peduncles and small blunt corollas). Sepals ovate or broadly oval, 
usually more or less dentate. Upper petal dorsally compressed, with a spathulate dilation of the 
wings. Lower petal with very narrow and usually erect margins. Fruit smooth or obscurely 
rugulose, with small apical pits.

Fumaria bastardi Boreau in Duchartre’s Rev. Bot. ii, 359 (1846 — 1847) excl. var. / 3 ; FI. Centr. France 
ed. 3, ii, 34 (1857); Rendle and Britten in Journ. Bot. xlv, 99 (1907); Pugsley Fum. Brit. 35 (1912); F. gussonii 
Haussknecht in Flora lvi, 513 (1873). 
Stem erect or diffuse, rarely climbing. Leaves light green or glaucescent. Racemes rather lax, 
normally with 15 — 25 flowers, exceeding the peduncles. Bracts linear-oblong, cuspidate. Fruiting 
pedicels usually twice as long as the bracts, straight, suberect or erect-spreading. Flowers from 
May to October. Sepals oval, scarcely peltate, serrate, acute, often persisting on the young fruit, 
about 2 — 3 mm. long and 1*5 — 2'o broad. Corolla pink, 9 — 11 mm. long; upper petal narrow, 
laterally compressed, not spathulate in bud, wings produced towards the base and often reaching 
the apex and exceeding the keel ; spur longer than the sepals ; lower petal with narrow but 
spreading margins. Fruit rotundate ; when dry, rugose with broad and shallow apical pits ; in 
size moderate or small.

Exsiccata : — Billot, 3307 bis, as F. bastardi ; Schultz ( H . N.), vii, 605, as F. confusa ; herb. Marshall, 2741, 
as F. confusa. 
Leaf-segments oblong, rather narrow. Sepals oval, about 3 mm. long and i - 5 broad. Corolla 
with the tip of the inner petals only blackish-red and the wings of the upper one pink like the 
rest of the corolla, 10 — 11 mm. long. Fruit subacute or occasionally rounded-obtuse, little narrowed 
below to an obscure broad fleshy neck equalling the tip of the pedicel, 2^5 mm. long and equally 
broad. 
This variety is the ordinary British form of the species, and is very easily distinguished when in flower by its inner petals 
alone being tipped with dark red. 
Throughout Great Britain, principally western ; widely distributed in Ireland.
