I had also explored Meconopsis horridula, but was not satisfied. For example, Flora of China says, leaves are all basal in M. horridula, but in our plant there are at least lower stem leaves clearly visible. However, if, as the first link posted by by Surajit says, there are many variants clubbed together as M. horridula, then our plant may also fall in that category. I too ran out of species which match our plant. Is there any other source which says that M. horridula can have stem leaves? Flowers of the Himalaya doesn't say that all leaves are basal. It says flowers are borne on *often* leafless stems. I tend to agree with Surajit and Meconopsis horridula, but would like opinion from more people. Tabish
