黄堇 huang jin

Fumaria pallida Thunberg, Nova Acta Acad. Sci. Imp. Petrop. Hist. Acad. 12: 103. 1801; Sophorocapnos pallida (Thunberg) Turczaninow.

Plants differing from Corydalis wilfordii by having leaves oblong, more divided, with small and narrow lobes (though late leaves often much smaller and conspicuously less divided with broader lobes); corolla apically broader; seeds smaller, keeled, with smaller spines.

?China [Japan, ?Korea].

This species was recorded from several provinces of China in FRPS (32: 435-437. 1999) but those records refer, according to M. Lidén, to 34. Corydalis wilfordii (or to 32. C. speciosa and 33. C. changbaishanensis for the NE provinces), whereas C. pallida s.str. has not been verified for China. See 34. C. wilfordii for a different opinion.
