Meconopsis Vig., Hist. Nat. Pavots : 20. 1814 nom. cons. Type species (conserved): Meconopsis regia G. Taylor. Notes. Grey-Wilson (2014) treated 76 species, 20 subspecies and three named hybrids. Since then, new species and revised concepts of existing taxa have been published, most of them within the monocarpic sections Racemosae and Forrestianae . Overall, the genus Meconopsis currently includes 95 species and 21 subspecies. As shown in Fig. 2 , its distribution largely follows the distribution map by Grey-Wilson (2014) , but with a small extension into Xinjiang ( China ) in the western-most part following the distribution map of Meconopsis aculeata Royle in the same source. The westernmost species are all rare, with M. aculeata Royle as critically endangered in Pakistan ( Majid et al. 2015 ), M. latifolia Prain as a local endemic and M. neglecta G. Taylor only known from its type collection ( Jafri and Qaiser 2011 ).
