Papaver arenarium is a species of flowering plant in the family Papaveraceae, native to the Caucasus and Caspian regions.[1] It and Papaver bracteatum deviate from the usual morphine-producing pathway typically used by other members of Papaver, with, for example, P. arenarium producing N-demethylcodeine at the step that P. somniferum produces morphine.[2]
