Celandine-poppies - Stylophorum (Taxonomy, Characteristics, Distribution, Images)

Celandine-poppies

Celandine-poppies are low-growing, flowering woodland poppies native to North America and China. They are recognizable for their yellow blooms and incised, hairy leaves with a shape reminiscent of oak leaves. Celandine-poppies are mostly found in forested, shady to partially-sunny locations with rich soils, especially along stream banks. They can get confused with an unrelated European species called Lesser Celandine (Ranunculus ficaria) which is considered invasive in the United States.
