mlokosewitschii, the golden peony or Caucasian peony, is a species of flowering plant native to the Caucasus Mountains in Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Dagestan, where it grows on rocky slopes in oak, hornbeam, or beech forests.

The plant is sometimes nicknamed Molly the witch, a humorous mispronunciation of the species name, which most people find difficult to pronounce.

It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing 23–27 in (58–69 cm) tall, with biternate, glaucous leaves with obovate lobes.

In spring it bears large, single, bowl-shaped lemon-yellow flowers 5 in (13 cm) in diameter, the ovary pubescent, the two to four carpels white, pink or yellow, and the stamen filaments yellow-green.

[6] In 2002, the Chinese botanist Hong Deyuan reduced it to a subspecies of Paeonia daurica.
