Abstract

IN the Alborz mountains in the north of Iran, on the slopes facing the Caspian Sea, at altitudes ranging from 5,500 to 7,500 ft. from the sea level we have found vast areas covered with Papaver bracteatum Lindl. This wild annual poppy grows in abundance to a height of 2.5–3.5 ft. in sunny places, and blooms in June. Its flowers are 5–7 in. across and are scarlet in colour, black blotched at the base of petals and surrounded by conspicuous bracts (Fig. 1).
