Lesser Celandine likes damp, shady places in deciduous
woodland and beside streams.
The leaves are dark green, glossy and heart-shaped. The bright
yellow flowers grow on long stalks. They are 2 to 3 cms across
with 8 - 12 narrow petals.
Lesser Celandine can be eaten in salads and its buds can be
pickled and used in the same way as capers.
This plant is sometimes called Pilewort because it can be made
into an ointment for treating piles.
