Species
Taxon distribution as listed in assessment
Within the UAE, this species has been recorded from the Ru'us al-Jibal (Jongbloed et al. 2003). It is uncertain as to whether this species should also include records under the name of Roemeria refracta [= Papaver refractum (DC.) K.-F.Günther] within the Ru'us al-Jibal (Feulner 2011). Globally, the native range of this species extends across northern Africa, the Mediterranean, central Asia and Pakistan (Board of Trustees, RBG Kew 2019).
