Notes: The siliques of Solid-tubered Corydalis ripen in May and June. The seeds are spread by ants and for this purpose they have small appendices that serve as food for these insects. Corydalis solida is widely cultivated and is an occasional garden esape, particularly in southern England. In the Netherlands it is native to the south and introduced and naturalized in other parts of the country.
Corydalis solida is a larval food plant of Clouded Apollo (Parnassius mnemosyne) a butterfly that can be found in mountainous areas in many different countries in Europe. In the Spanish Pyrenees both this flower and butterfly can be found for example in la Sarra (Sallent de Gállego).
