|discussion=<p>Species 70-100 (16 in the flora).</p><!--
--><p>Papaver is rich in alkaloids, notably opiates. The genus is quite complex cytologically; in addition to diploids, there are numerous polyploid species and some that apparently are aneuploid. Most commonly, n = 7 or a multiple, and 2n ranges from 14 to over 100. There are published chromosome counts for almost every taxon in the flora, but for the introduced species none has been made from wild-collected North American material.</p><!--
--><p>The scapose poppies in the flora are native; the caulescent ones, except Papaver californicum, are introduced Eurasian ornamentals, crop weeds, and ballast waifs. All the scapose species are confined to arctic and alpine habitats. Plants of the introduced caulescent species, especially P. rhoeas, P. dubium, and P. somniferum, vary greatly in size, and surprisingly diminutive mature individuals are sometimes found, especially northward.</p><!--
--><p>Excluded species:</p><!--
--><p>Papaver dahlianum Nordhagen, Bergens Mus. Årbok 2: 46. 1931</p><!--
--><p>Papaver radicatum Rottbfll subsp. dahlianum (Nordhagen) Rändel</p><!--
--><p>We regard this species as being restricted to arctic Europe, a narrower circumscription than U. Rändel's (1977).</p><!--
--><p>Papaver microcarpum de Candolle, Syst. Nat. 2: 71. 1821</p><!--
--><p>We are so far unable to substantiate D. Löve's (1969) report of this essentially Asiatic species "from Seward and Kenai peninsulas in Alaska, the Aleutian Islands."</p>
