钩距黄堇组 gou ju huang jin zu

Herbs, perennial. Rootstocks short, with many pale oblong soft roots to 1 mm in diam. Stems leafy and branched. Radical leaves usually several, broadly vaginate at base, often decussate, bipinnate. Flowers yellow or purple, shortly stalked in dense spikelike racemes; spur short, strongly curved into a semicircle. Capsule pendent from erect pedicel, explosively dehiscent.

Three species: W China, Nepal; three species (two endemic) in China.

The distinction between Corydalis conspersa and C. hamata is far from clear, and intermediates are found.
