upper Chamba identifications al280811:
A beautiful flower found all over the slopes in upper reaches of Chamba

Location Chamba
Altitude 4000 mts
Habit herb
Habitat wild
Height 18-20 inches


May be Corydalis cornuta

Please show a close up with spur in view.


Corydalis govaniana by any chance?


Here are the differences
C. cornuta                                                                              C. govaniana
Plant procumbent with long strangling branches                     Plant erect
Flowers yellow with dark tips, 1.2-2 cm long                          Flowers yellow without dark tips, 2.5 cm long
Spur almost as long as posterior petal                                    Spur half as long as posterior petal
capsule oblong obovate, 10-12 mm long                               Capsule oblong, 10-15 mm long

With more close ups perhaps this may be resolved.


That’s too close….. 🙂


The best I can do sir…


I think I will go with C. cornuta, the spur seems pretty long in one or more flowers where it is visible. The tips of leaf segments are more or less pointed in this species, not so in C. govaniana in which also the stem leaves are not more than two.


I think it does not match with images at Corydalis cornuta
It is more closer to images of Corydalis govaniana as per the following:

C. govaniana has ercet robust habit, 0-2 cauline leaves (with leaves mostly radical), erect robust inflorescence and curved spur. Wikimedia Commons

This one looks to me as C. ramosa Wall ex Hook.f. & Thoms.


This appears to be Corydalis govaniana as per comparative images at Corydalis
