it has many provincial names in English, besides its more

red colour when infused, and are supposed to possess slightly 
anodyne qualities. The young plants are admitted among 
esculents in Occitania, and the juice of the capsules as a succe- 
daneum for opium. An extract from them has been success- 
fully employed as a sedative; and some foreign practitioners 
even prefer this extract to opium. The flowers and tops are 
enumerated among the narcotics. Porac signifies a wild poppy:
