Additional info:

"Celandine" is the name given to two types of flower - a yellow poppy (greater celandine), and a yellow buttercup (lesser celandine). The name "celandine" derives from the Greek word "chelidonium," which means "swallow"; the plant is so called because the ancients associated the plant's blossoming in spring with the return of swallows every year.
