4, May, warmer temperatures, when it is all kinds of flowers in full bloom. However, this time around the anti-narcotics police is a busy time, because this time it is also flowering poppies. This time of year, local police will carry out the poison spring shovel special action, organized labor within the jurisdiction of the fields to conduct an intensive investigation, elimination of illicit cultivation of opium poppy, to wipe out drug problems. At April 12, Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, police found and eradicated nearly 400 flowering poppies in Yuhuan County, a vegetable farmer.
With the anti-drug publicity has been widely accepted, people around the report has also become an important source of information the police found illegal poppy cultivation. But for some time, people will report a sudden "own" - some people will be some of the looks similar plant poppy mistaken report. Last year, for example, someone in the Changchun area will be planted in flower beds mistaken poppy poppy and called the police. In addition, there have been mistakenly viewing as Iceland poppy poppy and arrested the wrong person case appears.
Thus, to distinguish between the poppy and its close several flowers for the right to report illegal poppy cultivation, saving of police resources, it has an important significance. So, we take a look at the poppy and those we mistakenly believe that "Poppy" flowers it.
Angel into the devil's opium poppy
Speaking poppy, people's first reaction is drugs. In fact, this innocent poppy, infallible but human greed and desire.
Belonging to Papaveraceae Papaver poppy, poppy counted on the entire family, "chief." Poppy is native to southern Europe, in Roman times, it was used as a medicinal opium poppy plants. During the Tang Dynasty, the poppy was introduced into China via Central Asia country great food, in southwest China, such as Sichuan, Guizhou, began to grow. Since poppy flowers gorgeous, like a local hibiscus flower, it is called "A Lotus."
In ancient China, as an ornamental poppy addition, there are other important uses. "Compendium of Materia Medica" will be listed in the poppy "valley portion of the twenty-three volumes" on, indicating that the people will be as poppy as a food and vegetable plants. It's no wonder, because poppy Spear can be eaten as a vegetable, but more valuable is the poppy seed. Poppy seed oil content of up to 40% relative to the oil-bearing crops was mainly soybean oil content of about 20%, this is indeed much higher, so a "hard to find vegetable oil in its plantations, poppy seed oil are also ... "Case. Poppy seeds small and yellow, like millet in general, and therefore the "millet" called, and the "vase" is derived from its fruit like: spherical, radial head, there is a circle, "Corolla", "Compendium of Materia Medica" described as "a lid on, under the pedicle, such as wine, opium hearted." Poppies in young fruit when cut open, flowing inside the white milk, condensed, and then dried to become a so-called "opium", after further processing, which became known as "opium." Over a period of time, the use of opium is used primarily as a remedy for cough, and pain and the like.
However, since the main component of opium is morphine, it has a strong addiction, once addicted, it is difficult to quit, which poses a serious health and social problems - of the two Opium Wars modern, all played by opium addiction. And by the morphine derived from heroin addiction will push the peak. Thus, excellent viewing from poppy and oil crops, became everyone shunned drug plants. Currently in China, as long as the unauthorized cultivation of opium poppy, no matter what quantity are all illegal. So I do not because of curiosity and cultivation of opium poppy, after seeing poppy should be promptly reported to the police.
How to distinguish it poppy and relatives?
As mentioned earlier, the poppy is a poppy, poppy genus one. In China, a total of 6-7 poppy genus species. Some of them originating in China's western region, and some are the same and poppy from West Asia, Europe introduced to China. Speaking in front is easily confused and poppy Iceland poppy and opium poppy, it is passed by the European country of poppy plants. As of the same species, they form flowers and fruits quite a bit similar, but if you look carefully, or to see a lot of different points.
Poppy petal color generally purple, with dark spots on the base, but because of the relationship between species, as well as poppy petal color pink to red variation, so the color is not good identifying characteristics. The main distinguishing feature is the poppy plant stamens form, features, and fruit. Tall poppy plant, height of up to 1.5 meters when flowering. Poppy stem is characterized by smooth, without bristles, replaced by a powdery white waxy secretions. Leaves poppy is also large, irregular wavy edge, leaf base surrounds the stem, was clasping kind. Poppy stamen filaments white, plump fruit and a crown structure significantly. With these features, you can basically certainly a poppy.
And with respect to poppy opium poppy, the small size of the lot, usually no more than one meter. Usually red poppy flowers, a few cases will appear pink. And poppy attached different white powder, poppy stems and calyx densely covered with white bristles, it is "fluffy" in. Leaves poppy is small and fragmented into deep plumes, each split "pinna" can continue to pinnatifid, called "bipinnate split" on botany. In addition, poppy stamen filaments are purple fruits are small and slender than the opium poppy, the top "crown" like structure attached on top of the fruit is not as open as poppies.
As in recent years, it was only widely introduced as an ornamental flower Iceland poppy, because in the name with a "poppy" word, it is from time to time as a real poppy who were reported. In fact, the difference between Iceland poppy and opium poppy, the difference is greater than poppy and opium poppy. "Iceland," the word does not mean it comes from Iceland, but rather that its origin is located in northern Europe and West Asia, it has another name, called "wild poppy." Iceland poppy origin are usually cold mountain environment, so it is relatively short stature, height is usually about half a meter. Iceland poppy and introduced earlier two biggest feature difference is that it only has basal leaves - that is, all the blades are grown from the base of the plant, the stems are no leaves, looks far, Iceland poppy flowers as if from the ground grow directly out of the same. Iceland poppy stems are dark brown bristles attached leaves pinnate division also presented. From the color, the richer Iceland poppy, white, yellow, red, powder variety of colors, even by people of breeding, as well as color and even multi-colored varieties appear. So see this head low, colorful flowers, then it must not be wrong to "Poppy" was.
