Exsiccata : — Billot, 2209, et 2209 bis, as F. boraei ; Schultz ( H . N.), 1007, as F boraei ; herb. Marshall, 
2413, 2414, as F. boraei. 
Shoot robust. Leaf-segments generally broadly cuneiform. Fruiting pedicels normally straight 
and erect-spreading. Sepals large, 4 — 5 mm. long and 2*5 — 3'o broad. Corolla rich rose-pink in 
colour, often 12 mm. long. Fruit obovate, very obtuse but not truncate, with the neck usually 
narrower than the tip of the pedicel, of moderate size, 27 mm. long and 2*0 — 2^25 broad. 
(iii a, /3) subsp. boraei var. typica forma rubens Pugsley in Moss Camb. Brit. FI. iii, 182; F. muralis 
subsp. boraei forma rubens Pugsley Fum. Brit. 26 (1912). 
Exsiccata: — Herb. Pugsley, 185. 
Leaves vinous tinted. Sepals rosy red. Corolla deep rose-coloured or almost crimson, 12 mm. 
long ; upper petal with wings nearly black, broad, reaching the apex. 
This is the commonest variety of the subspecies, occurring throughout both Great Britain and Ireland. In different 
districts it shows considerable variation; and intermediates occur approaching some of the other varieties. It is especially 
well marked in the Channel Islands. The forma rubens is particularly handsome, and is known from the Channel Isles, 
Devonshire and Cornwall. 
(iii /^) F. muralis subsp. boraei var. ambigua Pugsley in Journ. Bot. xl, 178 and 180 (1902); Fum. Brit. 26 
(1912). 
Exsiccata : — Herb. Pugsley, 192, 199. 
Shoot robust. Leaf-segments narrow, oblong or lanceolate. Fruiting pedicels as in var. typica. 
Sepals ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, 4 — 5 mm. long and 2’o — 27 broad. Corolla paler and more 
narrowly winged than in var. typica , rarely exceeding 1 1 mm. in length. Fruit more square than 
obovate in profile, distinctly laterally compressed, scarcely narrowed below to a base equalling or 
overlapping the tip of the pedicel, with obscure apical pits, nearly 27 mm. long and broad. 
This variety simulates F. bastardi in the shape of its fruit — a likeness which has certainly contributed to the confusion 
of the species. 
Locally common in northern Devonshire, also in Somerset, Sussex, and probably other English counties, as 
well as in co. Wexford, Ireland. 
(iiir) F. muralis subsp. boraei var. gracilis Pugsley Fum. Brit. 26 (1912); F. muralis auct. angl. part., 
non Sonder. 
Exsiccata : — Herb. Pugsley, 206, 213. 
Shoot usually slender and climbing. Leaf-segments oblong or lanceolate. Peduncles incurved 
and rather slender. Fruiting pedicels rarely longer than the bracts, variable in direction, straight 
and erect-spreading or divaricate, or flexuous and recurved. Sepals large, acuminate, 4 — 5 mm. long 
and 2 — 3 broad. Corolla paler than in var. typica , with the upper petal narrower, 10 — 11 mm. long. 
Fruit obovate, resembling that of var. typica. 
This variety has often been mistaken for the subsp. sonderi which it much resembles except for its larger, obtuse, and 
obovate fruits. Its long bracts, large sepals, and frequently recurving pedicels have also caused it to be confused with 
F. capreolata.

(iii d) F. muralis subsp. boraei var. britannica Pugsley in Fum. Brit. 27 (1912); F. muralis auct. angl. 
part., non Sonder. 
leones : Camb. Brit. FI. iii. Plate 187. (a) Shoot with fruits and depauperate flowers, (b) Flowers 
(enlarged). Somerset (E. S. M.). 
Exsiccata: — Herb. Marshall, 2915, as F. boraei var. serotina ; herb. Pugsley, 220. 
Shoot lax, slender, diffuse or climbing, leaves often small and glaucescent. Leaf-segments rather 
broad. Peduncles slender. Fruiting pedicels slender, usually straight and erect-spreading. Sepals acute, 
3 — 4 mm. long and 2'o — 275 broad. Corolla often paler than in var. typica , rarely exceeding 10 mm. 
in length. Fruit subrotund-obovate, very obtuse, little compressed laterally, when fresh, sometimes 
subapiculate before maturity, little more than 2 mm. long and nearly as broad.
