Fimiaria officinalis, L. Native in bushy places in 

 Southern Europe. In England it is a common weed of 

 cultivated ground and one of very long standing, to 

 judge from Mr. Clement Reid's discovery of its seeds

Fiimaria pallidiflora, Jord. A native of bushy places

Fumaria parviflora, Lam. Native in the Orient.
