not marked as a favorite taxon *Corydalis orthopoda Hayata. Habitat: Weedy border of sand road through mixed oak forest. Distribution: Native of Taiwan and Japan.

Glossary (beta!)

Origin/Endemic status: E., se., and s. Asia

Taxonomy Comments: "A native of Taiwan and the Japanese islands of Ryukyu and Bonin, this little known but large and showy, biennial Corydalis was discovered in April, 2013 by Gary Fleming, Karen Patterson, and Dot Field of the Virginia Natural Heritage Program during a routine inventory of Eastern Shore forests. Specimens were identified by Dr. Magnus Liden at the Uppsala University Botanic Gardens in Sweden. He noted that this species has been distributed among specialist gardeners under different (incorrect) names. The Virginia population no doubt originated as an escape from cultivation, although evidence of an old home site near the plants could not be found and has probably been obscured by forest regeneration."
