Diffuse perennial herbs,<\/span> slender, glaucous or slightly fleshy, glabrous or subpilose grandular, about 5-20 cm tall. Stem usually simple or branched, slender, usually leafless or rarely single leaved, later developing shoot in its axil. Root stocks thick, elongated, branched crowned with dense withered straw-like, dry shiny petiole bases. Radical leaves many, linear oblong or lanceolate in outline, base vaginate, including the petiole, about 5-20 x 1.5-3 cm across, petiole about 2-5 cm long, bi or subtripinnatisect, 4-5 jugate, with 5-9, lanceolate-ovate shaped lateral and terminal pinnae, about 10-25 mm long, terminal pinnae larger than the lateral pinnae and densely lobulate, margin erose, petiolules subsessile to sessile, ultimate segments linear-oblong to linear-obovate, base cuneate, apex acute with mucronate tip about 4-10 x 1-2 mm long. Cauline leaves if present similar to radical leaves but smaller, petioles shortly stalked. Inflorescence simple raceme, lax, terminal, hardly exceeding the radical leaves, about 3-10 flowered, dense, about 2-4 cm long, becoming elongated in fruit, rarely branched below, peduncles scabrid pilose, bracts lanceolate, upper ones margins entire, lower ones divided, about 8-15 x 2-2.5 mm long. Flowers bisexual, zygomorphic, yellow tipped with brown to green, about 1.5-2 cm long, pedicels 5-25 mm long, deflexed, elongated in fruit, sepals 2, whitish green, margin fimbriate dentate, apex rounded, about 2 x 1 mm across, petals 4, outer series dissimilar, upper petal spurred near apex, dorsally winged till the spur, margin slightly denticulate, apex acute, spur slender, slightly curved downwards, about 8-10 mm long, lower petal somewhat similar to the upper petals, base subsaccate. Stamens 6, in 2 bundles, anthers dimorphous. Ovary unilocular, hypogynous, ovules many, style filiform, about 4-5 mm long, stigmas dilated, squarish, stalked with 4 papillae. Fruits capsules, oblong-obovoid, about 7-9 x 2.5-3 mm across, dehiscing when mature by tumid or inflated valves, with persistent style. Seeds 4-10, biseriate, papillose, about 1.5-2 mm across, shining black.<\/span>

Corydalis stricta\u00a0<\/i>Steph. ex DC.??<\/span><\/p>\n

Leaves look different from\u00a0C.stricta<\/i>\u00a0as per\u00a0POWO<\/a>\u00a0specimen.<\/div>\n
Leaves are somewhat close to those of\u00a0Corydalis tibetica<\/i>\u00a0Hook.f. & Thomson as per\u00a0POWO<\/a>\u00a0specimen<\/a>, but maybe difficult to say without flowers.<\/div>\n
\n

Yes …, C. tibetica<\/em> looks closest.<\/p>\n
