The '''Allegheny vine''' is a [[herbaceous]], creeping, [[flowering plant]], also known as '''Climbing Fumitory'''. It is closely related to the Fumitory [[genus]], ''[[Fumaria]]'', but is classed in its own genus, '''''Adlumia''''', which is [[monotypic]]. '''''Adlumia fungosa''''' is also called ''A. cirrhosa'', and ''Fumaria fungosa''.
The Allegheny vine is a biennial climbing plant with very slender stems. The leaves are several times pinnately divided, prehensile, and feathery in texture. The white or pinkish flowers grow in large clusters and like grains of rice. The plant grows on wet and wooded slopes, and is native to North America, particularly the [[Allegheny Mountains]] area.
The genus name derives from [[John Adlum]] ([[1759]]-[[1836]]), a surveyor, associate judge, plantsman and agriculturist who ran an 80 ha (200 acre) experimental farm in [[Georgetown, Washington, D.C.]] The species name ''fungosa'' means 'spongy' in [[Latin]].
