Chelidonium majus, the greater celandine, is a perennial herbaceous flowering plant in the poppy family Papaveraceae. One of two species in the genus Chelidonium, it is native to Europe and Asia and introduced widely in North America. Chelidonium majus is one of the many species described by the father of taxonomy, Carl Linnaeus, in volume one of his Species Plantarum in 1753. Chelidonium majus has also been called great celandine, nipplewort, tetterwort, or simply celandine. It is a traditional folk remedy against warts.
