Adoxa corydalifolia is a small alpine perennial herb from the Hengduan Mountains of southern Qinghai, China, with fern-like leaves and tiny yellow-green flowers in June and July. It is a wild subalpine species rarely grown in gardens, so it needs cool, moist, well-drained conditions and suits alpine or rock gardens.
Adoxa corydalifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Viburnaceae. It is a perennial endemic to the Hengduan Mountains of the Tibetan Plateau in southern Qinghai Province of China, where it grows in subalpine habitats.
It is a perennial herb growing from a fibrous root system with rhizomes. It produces one to four upright, green stems up to 25 centimeters tall and just a few millimeters wide. The basal leaves are pinnate, made up of leaflets which may be lobed or subdivided. There is usually one opposite pair of leaves higher on the stem, each with three leaflets. The inflorescence is a spike with interrupted clusters of 3 to 5 small, yellow-green to yellow-brown flowers. Flowering occurs in June and July.
