Fumaria parviflora

Fine leaved fumitory

Family: Papaveraceae · Type: annual · Not Native

Fine leaved fumitory is a naturalized annual found in the central and southern California Coast Ranges in disturbed places at elevations below 1,000 meters. Flowering from March to May, this plant produces delicate white to pink flowers with purple-tipped inner petals. Growing 10 to 60 centimeters tall with much-branched stems, it spreads easily in disturbed landscapes. Its finely divided leaves are characteristic of the fumitory family, creating a soft, feathery appearance. The fruit develops with a distinctive keeled shape, supporting the plant's successful spread in modified habitats.
