A new subspecies of Papaver gorgoneum , ssp. theresias is described from the Cape Verde Islands, West Africa. A detailed comparison of the 2 subspecies is made and the ecology, the affinities of the species in the genus and the origin are discussed. The chromosome numbers of both subspecies (2n = 38) are reported for the first time and a note on the compatibility system is made.
