Greater celandine (Chelidonium majus) — perennial with yellow flowers and orange latex, long used in country tradition. It grows unaided in the shade of hedges and woodland edges, where few plants thrive. The aerial parts are gathered at flowering; it is the orange latex that made it known in folk medicine.
