Papaver somniferum, the opium poppy, is the
species of plant from which opium and poppy
seeds are derived. Opium is the source of
many drugs, including morphine, thebaine, codeine,
papaverine, and noscapine. The Latin botanical
name means the "sleep-bringing poppy", referring
to the sedative properties of some of these opiates.
