Fumaria
Also called Fumitories, Ramping Fumitories
Fumaria (fumitory or fumewort, from Latin fumus terrae, "smoke of the earth") is a genus of about 60 species of annual flowering plants in the family Papaveraceae. The genus is native to Europe, Africa and Asia, most diverse in the Mediterranean region, and introduced to North America, South America and Australia. Fumaria species are sometimes used in herbal medicine. Fumaria indica contains an unusual mix of alkaloids such as fuyuziphine and alpha-hydrastine. Fumaria indica extracts may have anti-inflammatory and analgesic potential.
