Papaver rhaeticum is is the widest distributed one of 7 Alpine Poppy species which are growing in high altitude and which have partly yellow, partly white flowers.
According to genetic studies by SCHOENSWETTER et. al. (2009), the alpine relatives of Papaver alpinum are all very closely related, so that they should be combined with it into one species, or at most distinguished by the rank of varieties. Also Papaver rhaeticum belongs to these.
