Corydalis nobilis (Siberian corydalis) is a winter annual native to Siberia and Kazakhistan.[1] It was introduced to Europe by Linnaeus, who had asked his student Erich Laxmann for seeds of Bleeding Heart (Lamprocapnos spectabilis), but was sent seeds of C. nobilis instead.
Description
C. nobilis bears its compact cymose inflorescence on a stem that can be as much as 50cm high. Its flowers are yellow or orange; inner petals have dark violet at the top. [2]
The seeds of C. nobilis are dispersed by ants,[3] as is the case for several other Corydalis species.[4] Myrmecochory (seed dispersal by ants) has evolved independently in many other plant genera as well.[5]
Association with Linnaeus
Linnaeus had seen a drawing of Bleeding Heart and longed to see this flower for himself. In 1765, he was delighted to get seeds from Siberia that he thought would grow into Bleeding Heart plants, but the seeds were instead for C. nobilis. The seeds had been collected by Linnaeus's student Erich Laxmann, from a Siberian mountaintop in the northwestern Altai Range.[6]
Seeds of C. nobilis spread throughout Europe from Linnaeus's garden in Hammarby, reaching England's Kew Gardens in 1783.[7] After the death of Linnaeus, C. nobilis self-seeded throughout his garden, becoming a weed.[8]
