It is a cosmopolitan family occurring in temperate and subtropical climates. They consist of herbaceous plants, but a few are shrubs or small trees. Several species are grown as ornamental plants, such as California Poppy (Eschschlotzia california), the Californian state flower. The common poppy or the corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas) is still worn in remembrance of Word War I (see also In Flanders Fields). The Opium Poppy (Papaver somniferum) is the source of opium. A herb (pronounced urb in American English and hurb in most varieties of Commonwealth English) is a plant grown for culinary, medicinal, or in some cases even spiritual value. ...

The simple leaves are alternate or sometimes whorled. They have petioles and are not enclosed by a sheath. The leaves are usually lobed or pinnatifid (i.e. consisting of several not entirely separate leaflets), or much-divided. There are no stipules. In botany, a leaf is an above-ground plant organ specialized for photosynthesis. ...

The plants are hermaphroditic and are pollinated mostly by insects (even as flower nectaries are lacking) (= entomophilous), a few by the wind ( = anemophilous). There is a distinct calyx and corolla, except in Macleaya where the corolla is lacking. The flowers are medium-sized or large and they look spectacular. The terminal flowers solitary in most species. In others the terminal inflorescence is cymose or racemose. The flowers are odorless and regular.

These plants almost all contain alkaloids. Many are poisonous. The Mexican Prickly Poppy (pictured above) is poisonous if taken internally and may cause edema (an abnormal retention of water in the body) and glaucoma. Even if an animal, such as a goat, should persist in grazing on this punishing plant, not only will the beast suffer but so will those who drink its milk, because the poisons are passed along in the milk. An alkaloid is a nitrogenous organic molecule that has a pharmacological effect on humans and other animals. ...
