Pseudofumaria lutea

Pseudofumaria lutea (L.) Borkh. (syn.: Corydalis lutea (L.) DC.) (Alps) – A rather common, widely naturalized and probably increasing escape from cultivation. Known at least since 1824 (Durand 1899). Always found on old walls or rocks. Most records are from (sub-) urban habitats but Pseudofumaria lutea might as well grow in more natural ones.
Especially in larger cities (Antwerpen, Brugge, Brussel, Gent, Leuven) much increasing (or possibly previously neglected).
