Summary The genus Dactylicapnos Wall. (Papaveraceae: Fumarioideae: Corydaleae) consists of annual and perennial climbers with half‐hardy stems, tendrils on the leaves and, in most species, perennating, tuberous rootstocks. A short history of the genus is given here and its status is discussed. At present four species appear to be in cultivation and cultivation notes for these are provided. A description of the genus is given together with a synopsis, or nomenclator, of the species and associated names.
