History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
1506. Sarcocapnos. From a-ot^xo?, flesh, and ^a^va?, fumitory. So named by Decandolle on account of the 
fleshy substance of the leaves of the plants contrasted with those of other allied genera. 
1507. Fumaria. From fumus, smoke ; in allusion to the disagreeable smell of the plant. The French, with 
the same meaning, call it Fumeterre, whence our English word Fumitory. The species are handsome weeds. 
F. officinalis was formerly considered a valuable antiscorbutic, and much used in obstructions of the viscera. 
1508. Polygala. From -roXv, much, and yocXcc, milk. Dioscorides says, that the plant was believed to excite 
the lacteal secretions in women. The species are handsome free-flowering plants. The greenhouse kinds are 
highly ornamental, and some of them continue in bloom all the winter : P. stipulacea all the year. They grow 
freely in sandy loam, or loam and peat ; and are readily increased by cuttings of the young wood, in sand, 
under a bell-glass. 
P. vulgaris was thought to possess something of the properties of P. Senega. Sir J. E. Smith found that an 
infusion of the herb taken in a morning, fasting, about a quarter of a pint daily, promoted expectoration, and 
was good in a catarrhous cough. He tried it at Montpelier by the advice of Professor Gouan with success, and 
has since known it useful. Foreign writers celebrate it as a grateful and nutritious food for cattle. According 
to the Swedish experiments, kine, sheep, and goats eat it, but swine refuse it. 
P. Senega has a woody, branched, contorted root, about half an inch thick, and covered with ash-colored
