Corydalis sp.

[WimB]

Anyone here who has an idea as to the name of this species?

Years ago I got it from Chen Yi as Corydalis degensis (CY-31) which it clearly is not. It forms a tight mat, does not root very deeply and stays green for almost the entire year, when it freezes more than -5°C, it dies down, but after a couple of weeks there's a nice green carpet again!

Possibly Corydalis sheareri or C. mucronata? In "Bleeding Hearts, Corydalis and their Relatives", Tebbit, Liden and Zetterlund. Of C. sheareri there is a picture as Plate 83 saying ""......is proving to be an amenable garden plant, even in areas with hot, humid summers, and has been sold by the Chen Yi nursery under many different names"""".

When I google it, I must say it does look a lot like Corydalis sheareri. Thanks, David!
