Certainly few woodland dwellers have more delicately beautiful foliage than the fumitory tribe.
"Wild Flowers Worth Knowing"
Neltje Blanchan et al
I had to go round by a side-path lightly worn on a broad grassy way, which led past the court-wall, past a horse-mount, half covered with stone-crop and the little wild yellow fumitory, to another door-'the curate', as I found it was termed by the master of the house, while the front door, 'handsome and all for show', was termed the 'rector'.

In many parts of Kent the fumitory bears the name of "Wax Dolls," because its rose coloured flowers, with their little, dark, purple heads, are by no means unlike the small waxen toys given as nurslings to children.
