The petals are round, white to orange, about 2 cm in diameter, with a slightly wavy-silvery edge. The pistils are saber-shaped, blackening, and the stamens are linear, orange. The fruits are distinctly globular, smooth, distinctly ribbed, about 1 cm in diameter.

Why this record matters
“Oreomecon anomala” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Oreomecon, anomala and species provides the most credible route into that argument.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q119150572. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
