Coreanomecon is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Papaveraceae.[2] Its native range is Korea.[2] It contains only a single species, Coreanomecon hylomeconoides.[2]

Taxonomy

[edit]

The genus Coreanomecon and the species Coreanomecon hylomeconoides were first described by Takenoshin Nakai in 1935. The species has also been placed in Chelidonium and Hylomecon,[1] but both morphological and molecular phylogenetic evidence suggest that although related to these genera, it forms a distinct lineage.[3]
