Oreomecon crocea is a species native to southern Siberia, central Asia and northern China and has for more than 200 years been cultivated as ornamental (Siberian poppy) and erroneously traded as O. nudicaulis (L.) Banfi, Bartolucci, J.-M.Tison & Galasso (Elven et al. 2020 onwards). However, according to several authors (e.g. Zhang and Grey-Wilson 2008), it would fall within the variability of a highly polymorphic O. nudicaulis.
