Dendromecon (Greek dendron, tree; mecon, poppy). An outdoor shrub in California, prized for its bright yellow flowers, and sparingly grown elsewhere. Smooth low branching plant with rigid alternate mostly entire lvs.: fls. golden yellow, 1-3 in. across, single on short pedicels; petals 4, large; sepals 2: stamens many, short: fr. a linear curved grooved caps. 2-4 in. long. — Long considered to comprise a single species, but lately redefined by Fedde into 20 species, but only one species-name appears to be in the trade. The division into species is largely on foliage characters. It is not unlikely that some of the cult. material represents one or more of these segregates. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
