Opium poppy : ウィキペディア英語版
Papaver somniferum

''Papaver somniferum'', the opium poppy, is the species of plant from which opium and poppy seeds are derived. Opium is the source of many drugs, including morphine (and its derivative heroin), thebaine, codeine, papaverine, and noscapine. The Latin botanical name means the "sleep-bringing poppy", referring to the sedative properties of some of these opiates.
The opium poppy is the only species of Papaveraceae that is an agricultural crop grown on a large scale. Other species, ''Papaver rhoeas'' and ''Papaver argemone'', are important agricultural weeds, and may be mistaken for the crop.
It is also valuable for ornamental purposes, and has been known as the "common garden poppy", referencing all the group of poppy plants.
Poppy seeds of ''Papaver somniferum'' are an important food item and the source of poppyseed oil, a healthy edible oil that has many uses.
== Description ==

''Papaver somniferum'' is an annual herb growing to 100 cm. All parts of the plant are strongly glaucous, giving a greyish-green appearance, and the stem and leaves are sparsely covered with coarse hairs. The leaves are lobed and clasp the stem at the base. The flowers are up to 120mm diameter, normally with four white, mauve or red petals, sometimes with dark markings at the base. The fruit is a hairless, rounded capsule topped with 12–18 radiating stigmatic rays. All parts of the plant exude white latex when wounded.
