Your identification of Corydalis incisa should include that this plant is highly invasive. If you find it, pull it out by the roots and bag all plant matter and dispose of it in the garbage can. Do not compost the plant matter. It is spreading rapidly, but there may still be time to stop it from becoming the next Lesser Celandine/Fig Buttercup-type invader in all our stream valleys.
