. Notes on the life history of British flowering plants. Botany; Plant ecology. PAPAVERACE^ 73 P. hybridum.—In tliis species also the capsule is globular, but it is covered with numerous, spreading bristles. The filaments of the stamens are dilated from the middle upwards. It is a fiative of Central and Southern Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia to North India, and of England except the extreme north. P. dubium.—The capsule in this species is oblong, glabrous, and narrowed at the base. Its range is rather more northerly than that of the last species. P. Argemone has a club-shaped capsule.

P. dubium.—The capsule in this species is oblong, glabrous, and narrowed at the base. Its range is rather more northerly than that of the last species. P. Argemone has a club-shaped capsule. The filaments of the stamens are dilated from the middle upwards, as in P. hybridum. Its geographical range is nearly the same as that of P. hybridum and Rhoeas. When ripe the valves detach themselves from the top of the fruit-stalk. GlAUCIUiM G. luteum (Horned Poppy).-—So called from its long curved pods, which are 10-12 inches long. The flower lasts two days. The seeds are brown, with ridges enclosing more or less square areas. It is found on sandy sea - shores all round the Mediterranean and the Atlantic shores as far as 42, Scandinavia, and is com- mon round our shores, but less so in Scotland. Fig. 42 represents a seedling of a nearly allied species, and shows the gradual development from the simple filiform cotyledons to the comparatively complex Glaucium corniculatmn. Seed- ling.
