Corydalis solida
Ssp incisa: Yırtık kazgagası; Ssp solida: Rumeli kazgagası
Tuber solid, ± spherical. Stems ascending-erect, often branched from the base, 7-18 em, with one large, yellow scale leaf. Leaves alternate, biternate, the segments ovate to oblong, divided into oblong laciniae. Inflorescence lax to dense. Bracts 4-8-lobed, the lobes .often toothed, not amplexicaul. Flowers pink or mauvish pink. Capsule oblong-lanceolate, elliptic lanceolate, or more or less linear. A complex species, divisible into a number of subspecies, three of which occur in Turkey:
1. Capsule linear, 15-22 x 1-2,5 mm; pedicels usually straight in fruit subsp. tauricola
1. Capsules relatively broader, 10-13 x 2,4-3 mm; pedicels usually deflexed in fruit
2. Bracts deeply incised into usually toothed laciniae; flowers 17-21 mm; inflorescence usually dense; style geniculate near the apex subsp. solida
2. Bracts ± simply incised, untoothed; flowers 20-27 mm; inflorescence usually lax; style straight or slightly curved subsp. brachyloba
subsp. incisa
Stems erect, often with a late branch from scale-leaf axil. Leaves 2-3x ternate with entire or deeply cleft leaflets, glaucous below. Racemes rather dense, somewhat elongating in fruit, usually with a distinct peduncle, 8-25-flowered. Bracts divided into ± equal segments that are again divided or dentate. Pedicels slender, 5-15 m ± recurved in fruit. Outer petals broadly winged and usually ernarginate at apex, often with a shallowly dentate margin. Spur 11-14 mm long. Inner petals pale, only internally blotched with dark purple at apex. Style usually long, often geniculate at base. Capsule broadly lanceolate to elliptic. 2n=16. FJ. 3-6, mountain slopes, 1000-2000 m.
