Fumaria

For the Roman smokehouses used for aging wine, see Fumarium.

Fumaria (fumitory or fumewort, from Latin fumus terrae, "smoke of the earth") is a genus of about 60 species^[1] 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, South America and Australia.^[2] Fumaria species are sometimes used in herbal medicine. Fumaria indica contains an unusual mix of alkaloids such as fuyuziphine and alpha-hydrastine.^[3][4] Fumaria indica extracts may have anti-inflammatory and analgesic potential.^[5]
