Can anyone identify this plant

[shaman3rd]

Hello all at Wild About Britain. I just found the site via a google search.

I'm just wild about being unable to identify with a common name or any name, a plant that occurs often around Shropshire. Someone calls it a weed in his garden but I, up to now thought it was a garden plant and I like it for its long flowering period and scent it gives off especially in the evenings.

Hopefully I can upload a scanned image which is quite a good copy of it.
It has lobed smooth leaves and little seed pods containing little black seeds. Also it has yellow flowers in small bunches and grows about 3ft tall.
Having searched the internet all over,
My mind will be calmed if someone can give me that name !

Best Wishes
Shaman3rd

Is there anything like it in the Gallery? An image is better than a description anyday

Hi Welcome to WAB.
there will be someone on the site who can ID it for you.
If you can't find a picture of it in the Gallery, can you post one so we can see

Yellow flower, about three feet high, smells great in the evenings.Perhaps one of the Evening Primroses (Oenothera species)?

This is Yellow Corydalis Pseudofumaria lutea

It does look like corydalis,but I have only ever seen the smaller6-8" clumps that grow along the base of walls and the blue garden type

Hi Marvin - your authoratative statement checks out with a photo on BioImages website - there's no doubt in my mind that the flower in question is Yellow Corydalis.
Thanks very much for resolving the name issue for me so quickly.
