XII. Order Rhoeadales (Papaverales). — Papaveracece or Poppy 
Family. — Herbs or low shrubs. Root only, in some cases root and 
stem, and in still others the entire plant, traversed by anastomosing 
latex tubes that contain a milky juice varying from white ( Papaver ) 
or pale-yellow (C helidonium) to red ( Bloodroot ). Latex tubes wholly 
confined to cortex or phloem but occasionally sending branches into 
the medullary rays, rarely into the pith of the plant. Leaves alter- 
nate varying from simple ( Platystemon ) to pinnatifid, pinnatipartite 
or even pinnately compound. Inflorescence varying from a loose 
raceme or panicle of cymes to a raceme of cymes or condensing until, 
as in Papaver, only one large terminal flower is left. Flowers regular, 
tetramerous or dimerous. Sepals typically two more rarely three. 
Petals typically four, more rarely six. Stamens indefinite in most 
forms, hypogynous except in California Poppy ( Eschscholtzia ) where 
hypogyny is modified into perigyny. Pistil of sixteen to four, rarely 
two carnals generally fused together. Placenta parietal. Ovules
