Abstract
This work deals with the systematic relations of family Papaveraceae according to the new data
derived from molecular analysis. An overall view has been given to elucidate the taxonomic position of
the family within the basal eudicots. Characteristic features of all the group has been given with clear
view of the general features of the family and its taxonomic divisions. Complete list of the genera, as
listed by Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew has been added with summary of the recent phylogenetic
relationships of the family and its genera. Leaf and fruit morphological variations of 14 species
belonging to Papaveraceae s.s., 7 species belonging to Fumariaceae s.s. and two species from
Hypecoaceae s.s. have been studied to assess the new classification of the Papaveraceae s.l. with
complete description of their morphological variations and their position according to the new
classification of the family.
