Fumaria indica (Hausskn.) Pugsley

Prostrate to suberect herb, to c. 50 cm high, usually branched freely. Largest ultimate segments of leaves to c. 10 mm long and 1.5 mm wide. Raceme subsessile or shortly pedunculate. Bracts subequal to or longer than flowering pedicel. Pedicel much thickened in fruit, remaining suberect. Sepals attached virtually at base, triangular to almost linear, 0.5–1.5 mm long, dentate to laciniate, narrower than corolla. Corolla 5–6 mm long, pale to rosy pink; inner petals deep reddish purple at apex, without apparent yellow median streak. Fruit 2–2.3 mm long, usually slightly wider than long, squarish near base, rather straight-sided, truncate or slightly retuse at apex, tuberculate, with small but distinct apical pits.

Occurs mostly in sandy irrigated soil in warm, dry areas.

The leaves are cooked and eaten.
