Botanical name: Papaver macrostomum Family: Papaveraceae (Poppy family)
Large-Mouth Poppy is an annual weed common in wheat
and mustard fields in Kashmir in spring, looking similar to Papaver
rhoeas and P. dubium but easily distinguished by elongated capsule,
deeply dissected marginal stigmatic lobes which are distinctly keeled
and drooping down the upper margin of capsule with 5-10 rays, as also
the peduncle is appressed hairy. In P. rhoeas capsules are subglobose,
rays always more than eight, shallowly lobed and hardly reaching the
edge of capsule. P. dubium also has capsule elongated and similar in
shape to P. macrostomum, fewer rays usually 6-9, but shallowly lobed
and not reaching the edge of capsule. Large-Mouth Poppy is found in
Armenia & S.W. Asia, Turkey, Afghanistan, West Pakistan & N.W.
Himalayas. Flowering: April-July.
