Moft of the old Botanifis regarded the Horned-Poppy as a Papaver: TourNnerort made it a diftin&t genus 
by the name of G/auczum : Linn 2us united it with the Che/donium, with which, in our humble opinion, it 
has lefs affinity than with Papaver; why he fhould not have follewed TounNzronr in this inftance, we fee no 
good reafon; furely the ftru&ture of the feed-veffel juftifies the great founder of genera, in feparating it from 
the other two; fo have thought the moft celebrated fyflematic Botanifts of modern times; in particular, 
HALLER, ADANSON, Jussizu, and Scopott; the latter obferves, that if the fruit is not to be attended to in 
forming the generic character, neither fhould the Poppy be feparated from the Celandine. 
This ornamental fpecies, diftinguifhed by the colour of its flowers, its general roughnefs, and place of 
growth, and fince Rav's time difcovered by Mr. SririiNGrFLEET in the fandy corn-fields of fome parts 
of Norfolk, 1s a well-known european plant, growing wild in corn-fields, by road fides, in Spain, France, and 
Germany ; it flowers in June and July, and ripens its feed in Auguft. Crusius obferves, that as the plant 
grows old it becomes fmoother, and a fmooth variety of it is mentioned by C. BAuHINE. 
If this plant be once introduced to a garden, in which the foil is light and the fituation dry, it will come. up 
yearly from feeds fpontaneoufly fcattered,
