Thymelea - Meis. Bes 406 Fl. Arenal. Lvs. 10x5mm.
velvety both sides, the several nerves showing only in

lobe 4mm long, limb 3mm.
1-31-32 ? Fumaria aquaria Lagas Ku II 10 (Bar)
Bon 14, Costa 16 & Flv unripe fs. Field set. Can Packella
v Colden Rabasa. Dropped when all flo out about 2 in long, open
Fls 15mm overall, the lower ones strongly red toward tip,
those upper ones more nearly white except for dark tips
of the inner petals. Bracts (suffused pink with white edges)
as long as pedicels of fl but somewhat stiffer than pedicel.
Unripe fs. Sepals (pink with white edges) acute,
dentate at base especially on lower edge 4+mm long,
narrower than ovella but as wide or wider than the
enlarged end of pedicel in fl. Sepals persist on unripe
fs when they are narrower than pedicels. In the open fl.
the lower petal hangs down noticeably away from the
two inner petals. Largest fs now 4+mm high x 3.5mm
wide, slightly flattened with edges subtended by sepals,
def. pointed at apex, more smooth. But note that lower
petal is 1+mm at base v 3+ mm at tip, each wing being
more than 1mm wide (this seems contrary to Cook & Ball)
