Corydalis mucronifera is a species of flowering plant. It does not have a common name as it is quite rare in nature. This plant has also previously been recorded as Corydalis boweri. Being as rare as it is, it has only been found in two regions: China and Tibet. The range where the plant can be found is small as it is only found near rocky beaches or high mountain ranges at altitudes between 4200 and 5300 meters.[1] Corydalis mucronifera is small in size (about 5 cm) and displays a variety of colors: purple, yellow, white, and cream. The plant has similar structures to other plants found in Europe and North America as it displays a racemose corymb. Due to its herbal properties, it is currently being studied in medicine for its inhibitory properties; these properties are focused in studies regarding neurodegenerative disorders.
