Meconopsis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Papaveraceae.
It was first described by French botanist Viguier in 1814 who
named it as poppy-like. The species have attractive flowers and have two
distinct ranges. A single species, Meconopsis
cambrica, is indigenous to England, Wales, Ireland, and the fringes of
Western Europe, although recent studies suggest that it does not belong in the
genus. Source
