celandine
Buttercup-like woodland bloom
Celandine refers to two unrelated plants with yellow flowers.
Greater celandine is a poppy relative with orange sap traditionally used in folk medicine for warts and eye ailments.
Lesser celandine is a buttercup that blooms in early spring, carpeting woodlands with glossy yellow flowers: The celandines were already out along the hedgerow.
