Abstract– Corydalis meyori Liden, R. Mili & B. Saikia (sect. Trachycarpae) and C. pterygo-petala subsp. macrocarpa Liden, R. Mili & B. Saikia (sect. Davidianae) are described as new to science.

A New Species of Corydalis DC. (Fumariaceae) from Kashmir, North-west Himalaya, India by Gh Hassan Dar, S. T. Koul, A. R. Naqshi, Anzar A Khuroo and Akhtar H Malik- Taiwania, 56 (4): 305-308, 2011-
ABSTRACT: While revising the genus Corydalis (Fumariaceae) occurring in the Kashmir Himalaya, Corydalis amarnathiana Dar, Semi & Naqshi is described and illustrated as a new species. This new species is allied to C. thyrsiflora Prain and C. pakistanica Jafri, but can be easily differentiated from them in having only one (shorter and less robust) stem; lower cauline leaves with petioles basally sheathing to half their length, upper cauline leaves forming a whorl; and racemes short and only 5-15(-18)-flowered. It also resembles C. shakyae Lidén in stem characters, but can be easily distinguished from it by the presence of 2-3-pinnatisect leaves, smaller and broader ultimate leaf-segments, and 12-14 mm long flowers. .
A New Corydalis (Fumariaceae) from Western Himalaya, India by Prashant K. Pusalkar and D. K. Singh- Taiwania, 54(4): 334-337, 2009 –
ABSTRACT: A new species of Corydalis (Fumariaceae), C. kedarensis Pusalkar & D. K. Singh is described and illustrated from the Western Himalaya, India. Novelty is allied to C. govaniana Wall., but differs in many important morphological characters of habit, cauline leaves, bracteole, pedicel, petal, spur and capsule. A table to distinguish the novelty from allied species along with the comments on other allied species is provided. .
The Corydalis nana complex (Fumariaceae sect. Latiflorae) in Western Himalaya by Prashant K. Pusalkar- Kew Bulletin December 2011, Volume 66, Issue 4, pp 545-555
Summary Corydalis nana Royle in the western Himalaya is found to be a complex of three species, including two hitherto undescribed. The true C. nana is a yellow-flowered species. The most common, greyish-blue or white-flowered species in the Sino-Indo-Nepal Himalaya, hitherto mistaken as C. nana, is a new species described here as Corydalis magni. An additional related species, Corydalis devendrae, characterised by tuberous roots and dorsally wingless/non crestate upper and lower petals is also described and illustrated from Uttarakhand state, India. A table comparing diagnostic characters, along with keys to taxa of the complex and a distribution map, are also included.

Corydalis (Papaveraceae) : 3 posts by 2 authors.
I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Corydalis (Pl. click). Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible. It’s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links. Species discussed so far in efloraofindia are given at the bottom of the page in the form of links against Subpages. On clicking them one can see all the details. If someone can provide complete list of Indian species with source references it will be wonderful. Any comments/ corrections are welcome. I have compiled and added the list of Indian species. .

Pl. go through Corydalis (Papaveraceae) page with images of species in efloraofindia. I request you to pl. go through & point out mistakes, if any. I hope this will aid in identifications in future. If anybody can send images of other species of this genera (for incorporation in the website), if any, or can identify unidentified images, it will be really nice. |
