Fumaria capreolata L.

Diffuse to weakly climbing, usually pale green, rarely glaucous herb with few branches and long internodes, to c. 1 m high. Largest ultimate segments of leaves often more than 5 mm long and 2 mm wide. Raceme shorter than or subequal to peduncle. Bracts 1/2 as long to as long as pedicel. Pedicel usually strongly recurved in late flower and fruit. Sepals peltately attached, ovate, 4–6 mm long, 2.5–4 mm wide, about as wide as corolla, obscurely to distinctly dentate. Corolla 10–14 mm long, white or flushed pinkish, with upper and inner petals blackish red at apex. Fruit 2–2.5 mm long and wide, rounded at base, obscurely keeled, obtuse to truncate at apex, smooth, or slightly tuberculate toward keel, with small, rounded apical pits.

Prefers well-drained, light-textured soils, mostly with high content of organic matter and therefore good moisture-holding capacity; frequently occurring near settlements.
