Description
[edit]A perennial low-growing herbaceous plant. Leaves are all long-petioled, grayish-green from above, covered with sparse hairs; from below they are completely grayish-blue, with sparse bristles and visible veins. Stems are straight, strongly elongate, covered with very sparse rusty-yellow hairs, reaching 30–40 cm in length. Flowers are about 3–4 cm in diameter. The petals are round, white to orange, about 2 cm in diameter, with a slightly wavy-silvery edge. The pistils are saber-shaped, blackening, and the stamens are linear, orange. The fruits are distinctly globular, smooth, distinctly ribbed, about 1 cm in diameter.[2]
Taxonomy
[edit]Oreomecon anomala was given the name Papaver anomalum by Friedrich Karl Georg Fedde and scientifically described in 1909. It was described as a subspecies of Papaver nudicaule in 1985 by Vladimir Nikolaevich Voroschilov.[1] It was moved to the new genus Oreomecon in 2021 by Enrico Augusto Banfi, Fabrizio Bartolucci, Jean-Marc Tison, and Gabriele Galasso.[3] The resulting name of Oreomecon anomala is the accepted name according to Plants of the World Online,[1] World Flora Online,[4] and World Plants.[5] It has eleven synonyms.[1]
