upper ones few and coarsely serrated ; stem leaves much smaller 
and nearly sessile, h. 14ft. to 2ft. Armenia. 
P. nudicaule (naked-stemmed).* fl. bright orange, yellow, or 
white, large and very showy, with nearly orbicular petals, and 
rather pilose sepals. Summer. J. pinnate, glaucous; segments 
finely cut into acute lobes. h. Sin. to 18in. Mountains of

P. n. croceum (golden). fl. orange-yellow or saffron, large and 
showy, with the petals slightly waved at the margin. Summer, 
J. erect, glaucous underneath, delicate green on the upper side, 
rough, with spreading hairs. A. 8in. to 15in. Siberia, 1829.

P. orientale (kastern).* ji. deep scariet, usually with a dark 
purple spot at the base of each petal, 6in. or more across ; 
sepals three. Early summer. J. pinnate, about 1ft. long, clothed 
with white bristly hairs. Stem rough and leafy. h. 2ft. to Sft. 
Armenia, 1714. A well-known plant, and one of the sbowiest of 
hardy perennials. (B. M. 57.) There are several more or less 
distinct varieties, including concolor, which has no spots at the 
base of the petals ; and triumphans, a very fioriferous and dwarfer 
habited form. 
P. pavonium (peacock 
shaped blotch at the base of 
setose. Summer. l. rather small, 
-like). fl. scarlet, with a black horseshoe- 
petal; ovary and capsule 
bipinnatifid. Central Asia,

J. pinnatifid, setose; segments almost Ea rek often aristate. 
Stems leafy, paniculate. h. 14ft. Persia, 1830. (B. R. 1570.) 
P. pilosum (pilose).* fl. pale lurid scarlet, or intense o e, with 
a white mark at the bottom of each petal. Stem many-flowered, 
with spreading hairs. Summer. Z. stem-clasping, cut, pilose 
on both surfaces. k. lft. to 2ft. Bithynia and Mount Olympus. 
Plant about the size of P. somniferum, but paie n, not

P. Rheeas (common field).* Common Corn Poppy, Redweed, 
Wind Rose, &c. fl. brilliant scarlet, large. Stem many-flowered, 
scabrous, with spreading bristles. Summer. l. pinnate-parted, 
the lobes elongated and deeply toothed, acute. h. lft. Europe 
(Britain), North Africa, West Asia. (Sy. En. B. 58.) This well- 
known annual has produced innumerable varieties under culti- 
vation, both double (see Fig. 28) and single. The garden strains, 
respectively known as the Carnation, Picotee, and Ranunculus- 
flowered Poppies, are double forms of this species.
