Some similarities to : Many other fumitories, but Climbing Corydalis is the only one to possess tendrils, which it uses to help cling on to higher surrounding plants. Also, the flowers are a creamy white with no coloured tips unlike any of the fumitory family of flowers.

Distinguishing Feature : the irregular arranged leaves, the colour of the flower plus the tendrils make this uniquely identifiable, if you look closely enough.

The Genus Ceratopapnos used to belong to the Fumariaceae (Fumitory) Family but has since been re-assigned to the Papaveraceae (Poppy) Family.

Climbing Corydalis likes to grow in damp mossy woods, or amidst bracken to support it. It also grows especially well out in the open air on the Sandstone Trail in Cheshire, on the path up to Maiden Castle hill fort. It is in open spaces like these that the stems are apt to turn reddish to protect themselves from the harshness of the sun, and this makes part of the supporting structure for the pale cream flowers reddish too. Thus they may start to look like other members of the Fumitory Family.
