  • Question

    Thank you for answering my question about the Fumaria-looking species in Waltham! I will watch for flowers. Is it also possible that it is Capnoides sempervirens? This was suggested to me because it is a sunny, recently disturbed site. Thank you!

    Answer

    Dear meridione, yes, it is possible, but the leaf blade outlines and robustness of the leaves suggested to me otherwise. But, Capnoides sempervirens is in the same family and the leaves are similar enough it could be that species. When you discover which one, please let me know. You can email me at ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org and thank you.
