Corydalis heterocarpa grows in seacoasts or lowland
grasslands, with branches at the bases, thick stems, and red tinges.
Leaves are in an overall oval-like triangular shape, 10-25cm long,
of bi- to tri-ternate compound leaf; leaflets deeply cut in, with
dented margins. The stem tips emerge racemose inflorescences and set
many flowers in them; corollas are yellow, 1.5-2cm long. Capusels
form narrow and fat portions of strings in single rows, keeping 6-12
seeds. Bloom time: March-June. |
