Thalictrum delavayi (common names Chinese or Yunnan meadow rue) is a species of flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae native to China. Growing to 1.2 m (4 ft) tall by 60 cm (24 in) wide, it is an herbaceous perennial with leaves divided into many small leaflets, and panicles of lilac flowers with white stamens in summer.[1][2]
The specific epithet delavayi honours the 19th century French explorer and botanist Père Jean Marie Delavay.
