The closely related Hylomecon vernalis has only one flower on each stem, and the greater celandine (Chelidonium majus) has branched stems and no bracts or bracteoles.

gollark: Assembly has a bit of a niche for low-level stuff (so OSes and reverse engineering and stuff which needs to run as fast as possible and whatever), but practical stuff *is mostly not that*, and the majority of the time easier development and maintenance is more significant than that.
gollark: Have fun writing webapps while using Assembly!
