Cathcartia is a small genus of flowering plants in the family Papaveraceae, native to China, Nepal, the eastern Himalayas, and northern Myanmar. Chloroplast DNA evidence supports a split of Cathcartia from the blue poppy genus Meconopsis in an effort to resolve longstanding taxonomic difficulties in the Himalayan poppies.
Species The following species are accepted: Cathcartia chelidoniifolia Cathcartia oliveriana Cathcartia smithiana Cathcartia villosa
