Species Profile
Fumaria densiflora is a species of annual herb in the family Papaveraceae. They have a self-supporting growth form and alternate, one leaf per node, leaves. Leaves can be dissected twice or more.
Dense-flowered Fumitory faces severe threats primarily from habitat loss due to agricultural intensification and urban development across its limited Mediterranean range. The species' extremely restricted distribution and small population sizes make it particularly vulnerable to local extinctions from land-use changes and environmental disturbances.
