Description
Common but rarely abundant, this wildflower is found throughout the state of Texas. It's a winter annual or biennial, so look for it in the very early spring. The lacy-leaved, sprawling plant grows 4 to 14 inches tall, and has numerous, showy yellow flowers, 1/2 to 1 inch long, atop its branching stems. The upper petal has a curved spur.
Corydalis can be found most often along the roadside or in disturbed soils. It prefers sandy or gravelly soils. It's interesting to note that Corydalis has been used in treating arthritis.
