Papaver somniferum

 The stem is usually straight, few-branched, with appressed branches, rather dense and softly shaggy-bristly.

 The lower leaves are simply pinnately dissected or (in weak specimens) pinnately incised with more or less large, wide, oblong, ovate segments, sometimes entire, sometimes dentate, obtuse or acute. The upper leaves are simply or secondarily pinnately dissected into linear or oblong-linear or lanceolate, entire or dentate, acute segments and lobes; the teeth end in a long bristle.

 The peduncles are straight, strong, long, rather dense, often whitish-appressed-bristly. The buds are long-standing-shaggy, small, without horns. The corollas are wine-red or pink, usually pale, rarely white, small, falling off early. Petals 1–2 (rarely up to 3) cm in a quarter, with a smaller black fifth at the base, rarely without it, usually obovate, edges not overlapping each other. Stamens few, they are very thin. Blooms in June - June.

 Fruit - naked, oblong-clavate or clavate-cylindrical capsule, young obovate, without signs of a leg, sessile, 12–20 mm long, almost without veins on the surface, with hard walls, glaucous; the disk of a mature capsule is flat, membranous, its teeth strongly overlap each other; rays 4–11.
