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]
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.
