Species
Taxon distribution as listed in assessment
Within the UAE, this species is believed to be restricted to the Ru'us al-Jibal (Feulner 2011), however it has been suggested that these records may actually refer to individuals of Roemeria hybrida [= Papaver dodecandrum (Forssk.) Medik.] (Jongbloed et al. 2003). In the Ru'us al-Jibal, it has been recorded at altitudes between c. 750 m - 1,600 m (Feulner 2011). Globally, the native range of this species extends from Turkey to the Arabian Peninsula and Central Asia (Board of Trustees, RBG Kew 2019).
