Scientific term referring to producing or bearing fumes; appearing in plant names to indicate fume-producing qualities.
From Latin 'fumus' (smoke) + '-fera' (bearing, producing) + '-ana' (relating to), creating a Latinate botanical term describing plants known for their aromatic or hazy appearance.
