FUMARIA 
179 
Cornwall, Gloucestershire, Carnarvonshire, Lancashire, Wigtownshire and Arran; widely spread in Ireland. 
Not known elsewhere. 
F. bastardi is locally abundant as a weed of cultivated ground from the Channel Isles, Cornwall 
and Kent to Orkney ; chiefly western in England ; very generally distributed in Ireland. 
France (inch Corsica), Spain, Italy (incl. Sardinia and Sicily), Greece, Tunis, Algeria, Madeira.

Stem robust, diffuse or climbing. Leaves light green ; leaf-segments oblong or cuneiform, acute or 
mucronate. Racemes lax, with about 20 flowers, when vigorous much exceeding the short peduncles. 
Bracts linear-oblong, cuspidate. Pedicels rather slender, about twice as long as the bracts, commonly 
arcuate in flower and erect-spreading or divaricate in fruit. Flowers from May to October. Sepals 
oval, peltate, usually subentire, acute, 3 — 5 mm. long and 1*5 — 27 broad. Corolla light rose-pink, with 
the wings of the upper petal and the tip of the inner ones blackish-red, 11 — 13 mm. long; upper 
petal rather broad but scarcely dorsally compressed, subacute or apiculate, with wings rarely reaching 
the apex but equalling or a little exceeding the keel ; lower petal subacute with very narrow spreading 
margins, often deflexed and free. Fruit subrotund, little compressed and obscurely keeled, subacute 
or rounded above, and contracted below to a very obscure neck a little narrower than the tip of the 
pedicel ; when dry, smooth or more rarely rugulose, with fairly large and distinct apical pits ; of 
moderate size or rather large, 2 ’5 — 275 mm. long and 2’o — 2*5 broad. 
The long, lax racemes of large pink flowers of this fine fumitory show some resemblance to those of F. major (Badarro 
in Giorn. Fis. dec. 2, ix, 72 (1826); Moretti Bot. Ital. i, 10 (1826)); with which both British and French specimens have 
been confused.

Annual. Leaf-segments lanceolate, oblong or cuneiform, acute or mucronate, resembling those 
of F. capreolata. Racemes rather lax, few-flowered or rarely many-flowered, equalling or exceeding 
the peduncles. Bracts nearly as long as or only half as long as the pedicels. Flowers from May to 
October. Sepals ovate or broadly oval, peltate, dentate or rarely subentire. Corolla rose-pink ; 
wings of the upper petal as well as the tip of the inner petals blackish-red ; upper petal dorsally 
compressed, with a spathulate dilation of the wings which is most apparent in the bud stage before 
the wings have reflexed upwards ; lower petal with very narrow and usually erect margins. Fruit 
small or of moderate size ; when dry, smooth or faintly rugulose with small and distinct apical pits. 
The three subspecies brought together under F. muralis are widely different plants in their extreme states ; but the 
subsp. sonderi of western Europe and the Atlantic islands and the subsp. boraei in this country and France are so 
polymorphic and present so many intermediate and critical forms that it seems impossible to define them satisfactorily 
as separate species.
