One of the things I learned in my botany classes at UT: species names and even their dividing lines are ever so fluid, especially among plants. And my Peterson's Field Guide is from 1968. After Rikki Hall's comment yesterday, I visited Dr. Wofford's UT Herbarium's website. (A marvelous resource!)
Indeed, Dr. Wofford only lists two species of Corydalis in Tennessee. The one we have in bloom at Ijams Nature Center is C. flavula; C. sempervirens is listed as endangered in the state.
Thanks, Rikki.
