Corydalis lutea (=Pseudofumaria lutea), sometimes called yellow fumitory or
yellow corydalis, is a shortlived perennial in the family Fumariaceae. The
genus has about 300 species, and is named for the Greek korydalis, crested
lark, referring to the flower's resemblance to the lark's head. Other common
names include yellow fumitory, hollowort, and yellow larkspur. Native to the
southern Alps of Europe, it is hardy in zones 4-8.
