Corydalis Buschii
''Corydalis'' (from Greek ''korydalís'' " crested lark") is a genus of about 470 species of annual and perennial herbaceous plants in the family Papaveraceae, native to the temperate Northern Hemisphere and the high mountains of tropical eastern Africa. They are most diverse in China and the Himalayas, with at least 357 species in China. Ecology ''Corydalis'' species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species (butterflies), especially the clouded Apollo. Toxicity ''Corydalis cava'' and some other tuberous species contain the alkaloid bulbocapnine, which is occasionally used in medicine but scientific evidence is lacking in the correct dosages and side effects. Many of the species in ''Corydalis'' contain other toxins and alkaloids like canadine, which blocks calcium. The species ''C. caseana'' is poisonous to livestock. Taxonomy Current species There are about 470 species, including: * '' Corydalis ambigua'' * '' Corydalis aurea'' * '' Corydalis bu ...

Corydalis Solida
''Corydalis solida'', fumewort or bird-in-a-bush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Papaveraceae, native to moist, shady habitats in northern Europe and Asia. Growing to , it is a spring ephemeral, with foliage that appears in spring and dies down to its tuberous rootstock in summer. It is cultivated for its deeply divided, ferny leaves and narrow, long-spurred flowers which appear in spring. The flowers show color variation, and may be mauve, purple, red, or white. Systematics The species was originally named in 1753 by Linnaeus as the variety ''solida'' of his ''Fumaria bulbosa''. It was raised to the species ''F. solida'' by Philip Miller in 1771. Its current assignment to the genus ''Corydalis'' was made by Joseph Philippe de Clairville in 1811. pp. 40-47 Four subspecies are recognized: * ''C. solida'' subsp. ''incisa'' Lidén * ''C. solida'' subsp. ''longicarpa'' Lidén * ''C. solida'' subsp. ''solida'' * ''C. solida'' subsp. ''subremota'' Popov ex Lidén & ...

Bulbocapnine
Bulbocapnine is an alkaloid found in ''Corydalis'' (notably the European species C. cava) and '' Dicentra'', genera of the plant family Fumariaceae which have caused (notably the American species '' Corydalis caseana'') the fatal poisoning of sheep and cattle. It has been shown to act as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, and inhibits biosynthesis of dopamine via inhibition of the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase. Like apomorphine, it is reported to be an inhibitor of amyloid beta protein (Aβ) fiber formation, whose presence is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Bulbocapnine is thus a potential therapeutic under the amyloid hypothesis. According to the ''Dorlands Medical Dictionary'', it "inhibits the reflex and motor activities of striated muscle. It has been used in the treatment of muscular tremors and vestibular nystagmus". A psychiatrist at Tulane University named Robert Heath carried out experiments on prisoners at the Louisiana State Penitentiary using bulbocapnine t ...

Corydalis Cava
''Corydalis cava'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Papaveraceae, native to moist, shady, woodland habitats throughout most of mainland Europe, although commonest in central and southeast Europe. Its range extends from Spain in the west to Ukraine, Belarus and the Caucasus in the east and as far north as Sweden. It is absent from (though may sometimes be found in a naturalised state in) Iceland, the UK, the Netherlands, Norway, Finland, Russia and Greece. Description ''Corydalis cava'' grows to tall. It is a spring ephemeral—foliage that grows in the spring dies down to its tuberous rootstock in summer. It has long-spurred flowers which appear in spring. The flowers may be mauve, purple, red, or white. The seeds contain an elaiosome that attracts ants, which transport the seeds into their ant colony. This seed transportation is called myrmecochory.

Corydalis Aurea
''Corydalis aurea'' (scrambled eggs, golden smoke, golden corydalis) is a flowering plant in the poppy family (Papaveraceae), native to North America. A winter annual, it can be found in such areas as the sagebrush steppe. The root is a branching caudex. Stems are decumbent, to 40 cm long, with blue-green leaves divided into leaflets with oval or diamond lobes. The flowers are bilaterally symmetrical, yellow, 1 cm long, with a pouch-like spur at the bottom of the petals, borne in racemes of up to 30 flowers, each on a short stem. The flowers have four petals and six stamens. The fruit In botany, a fruit is the seed-bearing structure in flowering plants that is formed from the ovary after flowering. Fruits are the means by which flowering plants (also known as angiosperms) disseminate their seeds. Edible fruits in partic ...s are cylindrical capsules.
