[thumb\|left\|*C. nobilis* growing in Finland](/wiki/File:Jalokiurunkannus_Corydalis_nobilis_VI08_C_H4791.jpg "Jalokiurunkannus Corydalis nobilis VI08 C H4791.jpg")*C. nobilis* bears its compact [cymose](/wiki/Cyme_%28botany%29%23Determinate "Cyme (botany)#Determinate") inflorescence on a stem that can be as tall as 50 cm. The stem is upright. Leaves are [pinnate](/wiki/Pinnate "Pinnate").

Its flowers are yellow or orange; inner petals have dark violet at the top. The individual flowers resemble small [snapdragons](/wiki/Antirrhinum "Antirrhinum").

The seeds of *C. nobilis* typically have elaiosomes (a fatty body attached to the seed but not part of it, which can be eaten by ants without harming the seed within.) Seeds of *C. nobilis* are dispersed by ants, who carry seeds away to feed on the elaiosomes. [Myrmecochory](/wiki/Myrmecochory "Myrmecochory") (seed dispersal by ants) is also observed in other Fumariaceae and has evolved independently in many other plant genera as well.
