Fumaria parviflora Willd. ? from Hooghly:
I found this herb in a kitchen garden, well in villages it is hard to demark a kitchen garden with that of agri-land, on 19-12-12, in Hooghly. Perhaps this should help I read the discussion in Sir’s post while searching the ID of this plant. efi link: /species/m—z/p/papaveraceae/fumaria/fumaria-indica I think it is Fumaria parviflora subsp. vaillantii Loisel of F. B. I. i. 128., the current accepted name of which is Fumaria vaillantii Loisel., for its apiculate fruits and bracts shorter than pedicel. We have KEy & distribution from BSI I think we should go with F. indica. I have lot of specimens from Kashmir and Uttarakhand. In all bracts are significantly longer than pedicel in flower, even longer in fruit, fruit globose. Agreed Sir, interestingly regarding flower colour BSI key and BSI descriptions do not match!
