''Glaucium flavum'' (yellow hornpoppy or yellow horned poppy) is a summer flowering plant in the Papaveraceae family, which is native to Northern Africa, Macronesia, temperate zones in Western Asia and the Caucasus, as well as Europe. Habitat: the plant grows on the seashore and is never found inland. All parts of the plant, including the seeds, are toxic and can produce a range of symptoms up to and including respiratory failure resulting in death (FDA poisonous plants database ).〔Cooper, M. R. & A. W. Johnson. 1998. Poisonous plants and fungi in Britain: animal and human poisoning. (Cooper & Johnson ed2)〕 It is a noxious weed in some areas of North America, where it is an introduced species. The thick, leathery deeply segmented, wavy, bluish-grey leaves are coated in a layer of water retaining wax. The sepal, petals and stamen have a similar structure and form to the Red Poppy (Papaver rhoeas) except the sepals are not hairy. Prolific quantities of seeds are held in a distinctive horn shaped fruit some 15 to 30 cm in length, which is divided into two chambers. ==In poetry== A poppy grows upon the shore, :Bursts her twin cups in summer late: Her leaves are glaucus-green and hoar, :Her petals yellow, delicate. She has no lovers like the red, :That dances with the noble corn: Her blossoms on the waves are shed, :Where she stands shivering and forlorn. ::::''Shorter Poems'' Robert Bridges 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glaucium flavum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
