Roemeria minor

الوصف النباتي

Morphology — historical treatment: Mouterde’s combined Papaver argemone–P. belangeri account describes a green, variably hairy annual, usually with several stems, 10–30 cm tall. Stems spreading or ascending, with spreading or erect bristles; leaves hispid on both faces or becoming glabrous. Buds ovoid to oblong-ovoid; sepals green. Corolla 3–4 cm across, with oblong-ovate, pale vermilion-red petals bearing a violet basal blotch. Stamens as long as the ovary, with thickened filaments and ovoid to nearly globose anthers. Capsule narrowly oblong-cylindrical, tapering at the ends or not, densely bristly, sparsely bristly or glabrous, with 4–6 prominent longitudinal ribs. Stigmatic disc hemispherical, usually slightly narrower than the capsule, with 4–6 stigmas. These measurements describe Mouterde’s broad historical concept, not a separately delimited diagnosis of modern Roemeria minor.
