Semitic Poppy

Papaver umbonatum

"Papaver umbonatum" is a species of flowering plant in the family Papaveraceae. It is referred to by the common name Semitic poppy. It is often confused and misidentified as "Papaver rhoeas" even though it is classified as the rest of the subspecies, since they are very similar in form and appearance. Its native range includes the rocky plains of Lebanon and Palestine.
