Tall ramping-fumitory

Fumaria bastardii, commonly known as tall ramping fumitory or Bastard's fumitory, is a slender, glabrous, somewhat scrambling annual herb of the family Papaveraceae (subfamily Fumarioideae), native to western and southern Europe and Macaronesia (the Azores, Madeira and the Canary Islands) and naturalized in many temperate regions including parts of North America. The plant typically grows 20–80 cm long, with weak, much-branched, somewhat trailing stems that scramble over other vegetation. The leaves are alternate, soft, glaucous bluish-green, and finely two- to four-pinnately dissected into linear-oblong segments. The pink-purple, tubular, two-lipped flowers are 9–13 mm long, with a darker tip and a short spur at the base; they are borne in dense, many-flowered racemes longer than their peduncles, opposite the leaves. Flowering occurs from spring through summer. The fruit is a small, globose, one-seeded nutlet, 2–2.5 mm across, smooth or slightly wrinkled when dry, sharply pointed and characteristically not strongly compressed. The species favours cultivated and disturbed ground.
