In spring, people will find the clusters of purple flowers distributing from South China to the southwest highland. They are corydalis plants.

The corydalis sheareri is a type of corydalis plants. "Corydalis" originates from Greek, meaning "the skylark", referring to the small and beautiful plants and flowers which look like skylarks.

However, their beautiful appearance is for the multiplying use. There's a spur in the flower which attracts the bees to worm in to take in the sweet mulse and spread the pollen for them.

Although some corydalis plants are poisonous, cory sheareris can be used as medicines. They can relieve swelling and pain, remove blood stasis, ease the stomach heat pain, snake bite, pyogenic infections, etc. What's more, they are good ornamental flowers and plants to conserve water and soil, being widely employed in horticulture.
