Fumaria is a genus of flowering plants in the family Papaveraceae, commonly known as fumitories. These plants are typically found in temperate regions and are characterized by their delicate, fern-like leaves and tubular flowers, which can be pink, purple, or white. Fumaria species often grow in disturbed soils, such as fields and roadsides. The most well-known species is Fumaria officinalis, or common fumitory, which has been used in traditional medicine for its potential health benefits. Fumaria plants are also important for their role in supporting local ecosystems, providing food for various pollinators and insects.
