FUMA'NI (Adam), a writer in the fixteenth century, 
and a native of Verona. He acquired an accurate know, 
ledge ot the Greek and Latin languages, and was intimate 
with the moft eminent fcholarsof his time. He accompa¬ 
nied cardinal Pole in his legation to Flanders ; and Nava- 
gero to the council of Trent, who procured for him the 
fecretaryfhip to that alfembly. He had a canonry at Ve¬ 
rona, which he held till his death, in 1587. Fumani 
tranflated from Greek into Latin the moral and afcetic 
works of St. Bafil. He alfo compoled pioems, of which 
the moft remarkable was, A Syftem of Logic, in Latin 
heroics, in five books. This unpromifing I'ubjecl he 
treated with an elegance and eafe which are altogether fur- 
prifing, and prove at lead his facility in the management 
of verfe and language. It was printed for the firft time

(papaveraceae, JuJf.) The generic characters are—Calyx : 
perianth two-leaied ; leaflets oppofite, equal, lateral, 
ereft, acute, fmall, deciduous. Corolla : oblong, tubu¬ 
lar, ringent; palate prominent,doling the throat ; upper 
Jip flat, obtufe, emarginate, reflex j nedtary the bale of 
the upper lip prominent backward, obtufe; lower lip en¬ 
tirely fimilar to the upper, keeled towards the bafe ; 
Rcftary the keeled bafe, but in this lefs prominent; throat 
four-cornered, obtufe, perpendicularly bifid. Stamina:

filaments two, equal, broad, one within each lip, indol- 
ed, acuminate i anthersc three at the end of each filament. 
Piftillum : germ oblong, comprelfed, acuminate; ftyle 
(hort; fligma orbiculate, eredJ, comprelfed. Pericarpi- 
um : filide one-celled. Seeds: loiindifh .—EJfential Cha- 
raEler, Calyx: two-leaved corolla lingent; filaments

Specks. I. Corollas with two (purs. i. Fiimaria cuciil- 
laria, or naked-ftalked fumitory : fcape naked. Root 
fcaly,, the fize of a large hazel nut ; flower-flalk eight or 
nine inches high. Native of Virginia and Canada. Pe¬ 
rennial. It flowers in June and July ; and was cultivated 
by Mr. Miller in 1759. 
2. Fumaria fpedabilis : flowers two-lobed behind ; 
ftem leafy. This is a fine plant, with very large, hand- 
fome flowers. It has the air of F. bulbofa, but is big¬ 
ger in all its parts. The branches proceed from the axils 
of the leaves, and are but few; ftem eredt. Native of 
Siberia. 
3. Fumaria fungofa," or fpongy-flowered fumitory : 
flowers bigibbous at the bafe ; filiqiies linear, ancipital, 
covered by an inflated fungous corolla ; leaves climbing. 
Annual. Native of North America ; flowers from June 
to September. 
II. Corollas with one fpur. 4. Fumaria nobilis, or great- 
flowered fumitory: ftems fimple; bradies (horter than 
the flower, undivided. Perennial ; very like the next 
fpecies, but much larger. Native of Siberia ; and flow- 
ers in May. 
3. Fumaria bulbofa, or bulbous fumitory : ftem fim- 
pie, bradies the length of the flowers. Thele plants are 
united fpecifically by a Hefliy, (imple root. Tliere are 
three varieties, which Linn.xus informs us are all natives 
of Sweden, but in different provinces ;■ the firft in Scania, 
both with a red and a white flower; the fecond in moft of 
the woods of Upland ; and the third 011 the coafts of Rof- 
lag and Finland. They may be thus diftinguifhed ; a 
lias a hollow root, and entire bradies ; (3 a folid root, and 
entire bradies ; y a folid root, and gaflied bradies. The 
hollow and folid rooted fumitory never are feen together, 
for they affedl different foils ; the former flowers fourteen 
days later, and the latter has entire bradies the firft year. 
According to Curtis, the folid-rooted fumitory-rarely ex¬ 
ceeds three or four inches in height, and produces its 
fpike of purple flowers in April; it does not vary much 
in colour. The hollow-rooted fumitory has a much larger 
root, hollow like a (hell; the plant grows to twice the 
fize of the other, and bears a foliage and flowers propor- 
tionably larger; the bradies, which in that alFume a kind 
of fingered appearance, in this are entire, or but (lightly 
indented; and it flowers about three weeks earlier. 'There 
are three principal varieties of it in point of colour; 
white, blufli-coloiired and purple. As this fpecies is 
found in moft parts of Europe from Sweden to Italy, Lin- 
nasus remarks, as a fingularity, that if does^iot grow wild 
in England. In our gardens they appear early in April. 
6. Fumaria fempervirens, or glaucous fumitory : fili- 
ques linear, panicled ; ftem eredl. Annual; ftem up- 
right, a foot and half high, round, and very fmooth, 
fending out feveral branches at top ; leaves fmootli, 
branching, pale, divided like the common fort, but the 
leaflets larger and more obtufe ; flowers in loofe panicles 
from the Tides of the ftem, and at the extremities of the 
branches, of a pale purple colour, with yellow chaps or 
lips; pods taper, narrow, an inch and half long, contain, 
ing many fmall black (Inning feeds. It flowers during 
fummer. Native of North America. 
7. Fumaria lutea, or yellow fumitory: filiques cylin- 
dric ; ftems dift'ufed, anglesobtufe. This is very like the 
ninth fpecies, but it is perennial. Miller adds, that the 
(talks of this have blunt angles, whereas thole of the 
ninth are acute ; that they are of a purplilli colour ; and 
that the flowers grow in a loofer panicle, on longer pedi¬ 
cles 5 the root (trikes deep into the ground ; ftems many, 
fucculent, dift'uled, about fix inches high 5 leaves o-n
