| Papaver alpinum, Linn. Alpine Poppy. Low and cespitose perennial, nearly stemless: lvs. glaucous, all radical and petiolate, glabrous or nearly so, 2-3-pinnately parted, the ultimate segms. linear or linear-lanceolate: scapes single or several, the bud ovoid or round-obovoid, usually pilose, nodding; fls. white, fragrant; petals round-obovate, erose, nearly 1 in. long or less: caps, oblong to obovate, strongly ribbed. Alps, Apennines.— The following garden varieties have been offered as of this species, but some of them are probably P. pyrenaicum: albiflorum, album, aurantiacum, flaviflorum, flavum, roseum and rubrum. P. luteum, Hort., belongs here, but P. luteum of the botanists is the Welsh Poppy, Meconopsis cambrica. | | Papaver alpinum, Linn. Alpine Poppy.
