New Papaver species published

[Maggi Young]

 From Curtis Randall Björk:

Two new poppy species (Papaver luculentum and P. roseoalbum), one species validated (P. columbianum), and more on the taxonomy of Papaver section Meconella in British Columbia and beyond.

 Curtis commented :" Papaver luculentum is newly published this week, along with two other species for which I don't have field photos (sorry)."
