EUROPA OCCIDENTALIS. In sepibus et dumetis umbrosis a Pyrenaeis

The well-known Welsh Poppy, familiar as a wild plant in western France 
and England and in Ireland : often in gardens and occasionally naturalized in parts 
of Britain other than those in which it is a native species. Polycarpic. Occasionally 
in cultivated plants there are more than four petals. 
As a group the Canibricae , which includes a single form, is very natural. In 
habit it agrees with only one other group, the Chelidonifoliae , in which at one time 
the writer proposed to include M. cambrica. Among the Papaveraceae as a whole 
this group most resembles the section Stylophorum of the genus Chelidonium ; 
so close is the affinity that De Candolle and others have treated Stylophorum and 
M. cambrica as congeneric.
