Greater celandine (Chelidonium majus) is a perennial of the poppy family, recognisable by its yellow-orange latex. It grows wild along roadsides and walls, with small yellow flowers and lobed leaves. It is traditionally used externally for skin care, the latex being applied with caution. The plant prefers partial shade and rich soils, and self-seeds readily. Greater celandine should be used with care, as it contains powerful active compounds.
