Corydalis juncea  from Budher caves road
This small herb was seen occasionally there
pls validate

I think this is Corydalis cornuta Wall
1. Corydalis juncea is reported Nepal eastwards
2. In C. juncea the spur is much shorter than posterior petal
3. Posterior petal is distinctly winged in C. cornuta

C. corunata from Kalatope.. blooming right now..


Corydalis from Kalatope… al241011: with one of my earlier Corydalis observations resurfacing.. I was
reminded of another one…

Location Kalatope, Chamba
Altitude 2100 mts
Habit herb
Habitat wild
Height 16 inches…
I had thought this one to be Corydalis cornuta….. but then the other one was id’d as C. Cornuta…. but this one resembles the C. Cornuta on FOI
http://www.flowersofindia.in/catalog/slides/Horned%20Corydalis.html

Anyway since I am not very well versed with the features… I leave it to you…


Yes it is Corydalis cornuta.

Saw these along the Ghangaria-VOF trail and the Hemkund trails, Uttarakhand in Aug 2018.
These have been identified based on the pics available in efi to be occuring in that area.
Kindly validate.

Plant for ID from Paddar valley J&K: 221111 SRANA 01: Request for Identification:

Date: 1st August 2011
Location: Paddar valley district Kishtwar J&K.
Altitude: 2321 meters asl
Plant habit/habitat: Wild herb
Plant height: 30-60 cm


Perhaps a few more photographs showing separate branch, close up of flower and mature fruit would help.


Flower length??


as far as i think it should be some corydalis sp.


Of course it is Corydalis, I am trying to figure out species. It is not clear whether ips of flower are coloured red/purplish or not.


Can this plant be Corydalis cornuta
Kindly check the below links
http://www.iiim.res.in/herbarium/fumariaceae/corydalis_cornuta.htm


That is why I was asking for close ups

It is not clear from your photographs whether tips of corolla are purple or not.
I had thought of C. cornuta but capsules should be obovate, but in your photograph they appear linear. Perhaps C. stewartii is better option

Corydalis cornuta sensu lato (including C. debilis [=C. stewartii auct., non Fedde], C. mildbraedii).

This complex may need some more study –
