Corydalis bungeana seed

LATIN NAME: Corydalis bungeana

COMMON NAME: Bunge’s Corydalis

The Bunge’s corydalis is a handsome, low, leafy, annual or biennial herb of the open, sunny places, and its fine, much-divided, fern-like, blue-green leaves and its short, upright heads of the few small, pale-purple or whitish, spurred flowers have made it a treasured and fine plant of the region. It grows as a low, leafy, annual or biennial herb, reaching up to forty centimetres or so, with the many slender, leafy stems bearing the alternate, much-divided, fern-like, blue-green leaves and, through the spring, the short, upright heads of the few small, pale-purple or whitish, spurred, two-lipped flowers, followed by the long, slender, dry capsules of the many small, round seeds. It is a species of the flowering plant in the poppy family, and it is native to the open, sunny places of the eastern Asia, while it is treasured for its long history of traditional use, and it is known as the Bunge’s corydalis.

The Bunge’s corydalis belongs to the poppy family, Papaveraceae, and it is a species of the low, leafy, annual or biennial herb, native to the open, sunny places of the eastern Asia, while it is treasured for its long history of traditional use, and it is known as the Bunge’s corydalis. It is prized for its fine, fern-like leaves and its small, spurred flowers.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The Bunge’s corydalis has a real and distinguished place in the research. It has been studied in the chemistry of the natural products and the traditional use, since the parts of the corydalis have a long history of use in the traditional ways of the eastern Asia, and researchers have examined the plant and its constituents, while the traditional uses of the plant have drawn attention in the international pharmaceutical and botanical press, and the study of the plant and its chemistry has been of continuing interest across the world, and the plant is best appreciated as a subject of study rather than a casual remedy. The plant has also been studied in the botany and the ecology, since it is a native of the open, sunny places of the eastern Asia, and its relationships, its distribution and its role in the open places have been examined, while the ecology of the wayside plants has been of continuing interest, and its fine, much-divided, fern-like leaves have been of interest to the botanists. The species has also been studied in the ecology of the insects, since the small, pale-purple or whitish, spurred flowers of the corydalis are a fine, early source of the nectar for the few early bees, and researchers have examined the flowers and their value, while the study of the early nectar plants has been of continuing interest, and the corydalis is a fine friend of the early bees. For a plant of such fine character, the Bunge’s corydalis has a rich and continuing record of study.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

Ecologically, the Bunge’s corydalis is a generous plant of the garden. Its short, upright heads of the small, spurred flowers feed the few early bees, and its fine, much-divided, fern-like, blue-green growth gives a fine, soft presence to the spring border and the rock garden.

Its economic value is real. The Bunge’s corydalis is treasured for its long history of traditional use, and its value has drawn attention in the international pharmaceutical and botanical press, while its fine, soft, blue-green, fern-like growth has also made it a valued plant of the spring border and the rock garden. The plant is best kept as a subject of study rather than a casual home remedy. For a grower, the Bunge’s corydalis is an easy and rewarding plant, and for a gardener it brings a fern-leaved, spurred-flowered, soft plant to the spring garden. These seeds are small and numerous — sow them on the surface of pots of fine, gritty, free-draining seed compost and just press them in, since they germinate best in the light, keep the pots in a bright, open spot and water them gently, and they will be up before long.
