THE FUMITORY TRIBE. 



Herbaceous, mostly annual plants, inhabiting chiefly the temperate lati- 

 tudes of the northern hemisphere. In all, they amount to about 70 species, 

 of which 18 have been found in Europe; 18 in India ; 1 1 in Siberia ; 10 in 

 N. America ; 4 in S. Africa ; 4 in Japan ; 3 in the Levant ; 2 in N. Africa ; 

 and 1 in Persia. The Indian species, besides 2 that are common to other 

 countries, consist of 16 of Corydalis ; 1 of Dactylocapnos ; and 1 of Ma- 

 crocapnos. 



The herbs belonging to this tribe are filled with a watery, not milky, 

 juice, and are bitterish, scentless, sudorific, and aperient. Their juice, 

 formerly prescribed against abdominal obstructions, is now only used 

 occasionally in cutaneous diseases. (DC.)
