Description and General Information:
Corydalis malkensis is a native of the northern Caucasus, primarily from the valleys of the Kuban and Malka Rivers. In the wild it is found in open woodlands.
This species is a spring ephemeral. Plants arise late winter to early spring with glaucous, blue-green, divided foliage that appears almost fern-like. The tubular flowers are creamy-white, produced in a dense raceme which may reach to 12 cm. Plants go dormant a few weeks after blooming.
