Hairy Yellow Poppy is an evergreen herb sometimes
behaving as a biennial, up to 60 cm high in bloom. It is named for Lall
Dhwoj (-1931) Nepalese botanical collector and army major. Basal leaves
are in a rosette up to 50 cm or more across on well grown plants, each
blade deeply pinnately lobed and dissected, covered with bristly yellow
hairs having purple-black bases. Flowers are pale yellow, about 4 cm
across, one to three nodding on longish flower-stalks, arranged in
racemose formation. Hairy Yellow Poppy is found on mountain slopes
in Nepal, Tibet and probably north Arunachal Pradesh, at altitudes of
2650-5450 m.
