Corydalis cheilanthifolia (fern-leaved corydalis[1] or fern-leaf corydalis) is a perennial growing from rhizomes, native to western and central China.

Description

Leaves are shaped like lipfern (Cheilanthes), for which the plant is named. They turn bronze and remain over winter.

Flowers are yellow and bloom in long upright racemes on leafless stems from mid-spring to early summer.

Seeds with elaiosomes are borne in a long, thin pod.
