Corydalis rutifolia

Κορυδαλίς η απηγανόφυλλη

Etymology of Corydalis rutifolia: The name of the genus, "Corydalis", comes from the Ancient Greek "κορυδαλός" [korydalos], meaning "lark", alluding to a similarity between the flower and the bird's spur. "Rutifolia" is a Latin word, from "Ruta + folia", meaning "leaves like the ones of the Ruta genus", more specifically with the leaflets of Ruta graveolens.

This is the one and only Corydalis taxa that is found in the wild Cypriot habitat.

Corydalis rutifolia is a Cyprus endemic plant which appears in central mountainous Cyprus between altitudes of 1375–1950 metres (the absolute top). It primarily grows on stony slopes and open forests. Its flowering period is between March and May.
