Fineleaf fumitory
Probably was introduced by seeds in garden soil.
Fumaria parviflora is a species of flowering plant known by the common names fineleaf fumitory, fine-leaved fumitory and Indian fumitory. It is native to Europe, Asia, and Africa, but it is common and widely distributed in many other parts of the world. It is sometimes weedy. The small flowers are dull white with purple tips. The fruit is a rounded nutlet with a central crest.
Fumaria parviflora, also known as small-flowered fumitory, is an annual herb native to Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa. In Qatar, it has been found to grow as a winter annual, typically blooming from February to April. The plant is characterized by its delicate, pinkish-purple flowers and finely dissected leaves. It often thrives in disturbed areas, such as roadsides and waste grounds, and can tolerate a range of soil types. In Qatar, Fumaria parviflora has been reported in various regions, including Doha and the northern parts of the country, where it can be found growing in urban and rural areas alike.
