1Flowers yellow; stigma shallowly dissected; style absent in fruit Argemone mexicana
+Flowers white turning pale-yellowish with age; stigma deeply dissected; style 1-2 mm long in fruit Argemone ochroleuca

We can distinguish Argemone ochroleuca from A. mexicana by small height, pale yellow flowers and deeply dissected stigma...!!!

A weed of waste places, Argemone ochroleuca is less common than A. mexicana, differentiated by low habit (usually less than 40 cm tall), poorly brached, smaller narrower leaves, white flowers turning pale yellow, deeply dissected stigma and distinct 1-2 mm long style.
