Notes: The analyses of AFLP markers, isozyme data, and the morphological differences (Solstad et al. 2003; Solstad 2009) define two taxa in northeastern Greenland: subsp. occidentale and subsp. lapponicum. Kiger and Murray (1997) did not accept Papaver lapponicum from Greenland, but that is due to their following a different view on the types of the names P. radicatum and P. lapponicum.
Tolmachev (1923) described Papaver radicatum subsp. lapponicum on plants from a marginal and geographically isolated northern European population in the Murman area. Petrovsky (1999, PAF proposal) restricted the type race, subsp. lapponicum, to the Murman area and northernmost Norway where it is found in three separate areas: (A) The Khibiny Mts in the central Kola Peninsula (the Murman area) from where it was described and where Semenova (1956) later separated the material into three species: P. lapponicum s. str., P. chibinense, and P. tolmatchevii. Those three are sympatric within a range of about 40 x 40 km, each with 15-30 'dots' mapped by Semenova (1956: maps 102-104). Egorova (1998) merged the three Kola Peninsula 'species' within subsp. lapponicum. (B) The Alta area in the western parts of Finnmark province (Norway) where the populations were described as subsp. scandinavicum and later raised to species level as P. norvegicum. (C) The Kvænangen area in the northeastern parts of Troms province (Norway) where the populations were described as var. parviflorum, later as subsp. kvaenangense. Nilsson (2001b) merged the populations in areas (B) and (C) as subsp. kvaenangense. Both Norwegian population groups (B, C) are reported to be octoploids (Horn 1938; Knaben 1959a) as are the Kola Peninsula populations (Zhukova 1968). The morphological differences among the isolated population groups in northern Norway and the Murman area are not more than should be expected in a disjunct taxon. We consider all of these parts of subsp. lapponicum but the subspecies does not reach the Arctic in the Murman area or in Norway.
