Pale Poppy (Oreomecon alborosea (Hultén) Galasso, Banfi & Bartolucci)

Also classified as Papaver alboroseum Hultén.

This species was reclassified in 2022 into Oreomecon as part of an effort to ensure the Papaver genus was monophyletic (containing all common ancestors and their descendants.) As this work is new, most sources have not yet updated the names.
