Blue Poppy
''Meconopsis'' is a genus of flowering plants in the poppy family Papaveraceae. It was created by French botanist Viguier in 1814 for the species known by the common name Welsh poppy, which Carl Linnaeus had described as ''Papaver cambricum''. The genus name means "poppy-like" (from Greek ''mekon'' poppy, ''opsis'' alike). Himalayan species discovered later were also placed in ''Meconopsis''. In the 21st century, it was discovered that the Himalayan species were less closely related to the Welsh poppy, which has been restored to ''Papaver''. All species now placed in ''Meconopsis'' are native to the Himalayas and surrounding regions. They have attractive, usually blue flowers. The taxonomy of ''Meconopsis'' remains unsettled. Although many sources recognize the genus, others sink it into ''Papaver''. There is also uncertainty over the number of species, as many readily hybridise with each other producing viable seed. It is likely that some individually named species are in fact ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Conserved Name
A conserved name or ''nomen conservandum'' (plural ''nomina conservanda'', abbreviated as ''nom. cons.'') is a scientific name that has specific nomenclatural protection. That is, the name is retained, even though it violates one or more rules which would otherwise prevent it from being legitimate. ''Nomen conservandum'' is a Latin term, meaning "a name to be conserved". The terms are often used interchangeably, such as by the ''International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi, and Plants'' (ICN), while the ''International Code of Zoological Nomenclature'' favours the term "''conserved name''". The process for conserving botanical names is different from that for zoological names. Under the botanical code, names may also be "suppressed", ''nomen rejiciendum'' (plural ''nomina rejicienda'' or ''nomina utique rejicienda'', abbreviated as ''nom. rej.''), or rejected in favour of a particular conserved name, and combinations based on a suppressed name are also listed as “''nom. re ...

Meconopsis Napaulensis
''Meconopsis napaulensis'', the Nepal poppy or satin poppy, is a plant of the family Papaveraceae. The plant contains beta-carbolines, which (in doses high enough) act as a psychedelic drug. However, its phytochemistry remains predominantly unstudied. Recent taxonomical reclassification by Grey-Wilson (2006) has separated 4 new species from ''M. napaulensis'': '' M. chankheliensis'', '' M. ganeshensis'', '' M. staintonii'' and '' M. wilsonii'', while '' M. wallichii'' has been reinstated. ''M. wallichii'' had been previously described in 1852 by Hooker, but was later placed under the species ''M. napaulensis'' by Taylor in 1934. In light of the current reclassification by Grey-Wilson, the description of the species ''M. napaulensis'' is subsequently much more refined. Based on the type specimen, it is only yellow in flower, with a small geographical range in central Nepal Nepal (; ne, नेपाल ), formerly the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal ( ne, सठ...

Meconopsis Manasluensis
''Meconopsis manasluensis'' is a red-flowered Himalayan poppy belonging to ''Meconopsis'' subg. ''Discogyne'', which forms a natural grouping of 6 or 7 species within the genus all characterised by a stylar disc surmounting the ovary (lacking in other ''Meconopsis''). As reflected by the species etymology, ''M. manasluensis'' is endemic to the vicinity of the Manaslu Himal of Gorkha district, central Nepal, where it grows at high elevation (ca. 4000 m) and so far remains known only from its type collection locality. ''Meconopsis manasluensis'' is easily distinguished within subgenus ''Discogyne'' through its multiple flowering stems, unlike the single prominent fleshy stem in all other species. The closely related '' M. pinnatifolia'' is known from the same general locality in the wild, however possible mechanisms preventing cross-fertilisation between ''M. manasluensis'' and this species remain unclear. Specimens of ''M. manasluensis'' were first collected on the joint Royal Bo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Meconopsis Autumnalis
''Meconopsis autumnalis'', the Nepalese autumn poppy, is a yellow-flowered Himalayan poppy belonging to series Robustae, and is endemic to the Ganesh Himal range of central Nepal, where it was discovered in 2008 on a research expedition from the University of Aberdeen. In addition to several morphological features, the species is characterised by its late flowering period (as reflected in the specific etymology), which has more than likely resulted in a barrier to gene flow and subsequent evolutionary divergence from the closely related and sympatric species ''Meconopsis paniculata''. Specimens of ''M. autumnalis'' had twice previously been collected, by famous plant hunter J. D. A. Stainton on his 1962 expedition with S. A. Bowes Lyon to central Nepal, and on the Flora of Ganesh Himal expedition undertaken by the University of Tokyo in 1994.Ohba, H. & Ikeda, H. (1999).
