Corydalis nudicaulis Regel is from Tadjikistan and grows on moist, north-facing slopes near streams and among shrubs. While the plants show a typical growth pattern for section Corydalis, the flowers are highly unusual in their coloration, combining a white base color with deep coffee-brown shading and purple tips of the inner petals.
