Meconopsis manasluensis

<h2 id="ecology">Ecology</h2>
<p><i>Meconopsis manasluensis</i> is found growing in alpine scrub (<i><a href="/facts/Betula_utilis/JJ8I2C2l">Betula utilis</a></i>, <i><a href="/facts/Berberis/lgz5gGU8">Berberis</a></i>, <i><a href="/facts/Lonicera/HzYY0WeM">Lonicera</a></i>, <i><a href="/facts/Salix/F66Xvslm">Salix</a></i>, etc.) and herb-rich alpine grasslands at elevations in and around 4000 m in moist, humus-rich soils. The plant is locally abundant, but a small or possibly severely restricted specific distribution may give cause for conservational concern. Flowering is July–August.
