Pseudofumaria lutea (Papaveraceae) 149 22

 

Pseudofumaria lutea (syn. Corydalis lutea) is a short-lived perennial plant in the poppy family Papaveraceae. It is native to the southern foothills of the south-western and central Alps of Italy and Switzerland but widely introduced elsewhere.

 

It grows to 30–38 cm tall. Leaves are finely divided and yellow-green to gray-green, often remaining over winter.

 

Flowers are 2 centimeters long, borne in racemes on short, branched, leafy stems from late spring to autumn. They have 4 petals, the top and bottom ones crested, the top one with a short, rounded spur curved downwards, and the 2 inner ones connected at the tip.
