BLEEDING HEART FAMILY. Fumariaceae. 



This has hollow, branching and spread- 

 Golden Corydal . 



CapnoUes a&reum in g stems from S1X to fourteen inches tall, 

 (Corydalis) with very pretty, delicate, pale-green 



Yellow foliage and bright-yellow flowers, each 



?? nng about half an inch long, on slender pedi- 



cels, in a loose cluster. The spurs give 

 them a quaint and pert effect. The style stays on the tip 

 of the long curved capsule, whicb. l^oks like a bean-pod, 

 drooping or sticking out at an awkward angle from the 

 stem. This is especially fine in some of the mountain 

 valleys in Utah, making beautiful clumps of foliage; it is 

 widely distributed and is also found in the East. In the 

 West it is sometimes called Dutchman's Breeches and 

 confused with that plant, but rather absurdly so, for the 

 Dutchman could have only one leg ! 



A very beautiful and decorative plant, 

 Pink Corydalis t Qr three f t ^ with j exceed- 



Capnoides . ' 



Scouleri in gly graceful leaves, vivid yet delicate 



(Corydalis) in color and thin in texture, beautifully 



cut and lobed. The flowers are about an 



in h long ' P ale 'P ink shaded with deeper 

 color, each with a long, cylindrical spur, 

 and form pretty clusters, which show up very effectively 

 against the tender green of the large clumps of delicate 

 foliage, which are conspicuously beautiful. This grows ; 

 in rich soil, in mountain woods, and is charming in the 

 forests in Mt. Rainier National Park.
