America. The South African species have been separated from the rest by 
Bernhardi, under the name Phacocapnos, because their seeds are destitute of arillus 
or strophiolus. We think this separation unnecessary. From the base of the 
synema (or compound filament) a horn-like body extends backwards into the cavity of 
the spur of the posterior petal; in the other genera this is represented by a single 
- double gland, absent in Fumaria. Name ; xopvdadis, the Greek word for 
umitory.
