Papaver Somniferum Poppy
There’s a catch phase, “better living through chemistry” used to exalt the wonders of modern medicine to aid man kind. Yet, many of these medicines would not be possible without our medicinal plants. Nearly forty percent of all prescribed medicines are derived from plants and fungi or are designed from naturally occurring chemical compounds. Many natural substances, such as various plant alkaloids, have been found to disrupt cellular function and are well suited for various cancer treatments. Some natural substances abate bacterium growth; some alleviate pain and are analgesic.
These medicines include aspirin, digoxin, warfarin, and the vinca alkaloids used in treating childhood leukemia and breast cancers.
Certain populations of a plant species may be more potent than others, and plant parts vary in their concentrations of medicinal compounds. The underground parts of plants, such as roots, rhizomes, and bulbs, are often the most potent part of a medicinal plant, where the secondary compounds produced by the plant metabolism are most concentrated. Organic compounds could by synthesized by chemists in the laboratory. Early in the nineteenth century, plants were no longer the number source for effective medicines. Some plant compounds still must come directly from plants because they have not yet been successfully synthesized, including morphine, cocaine, ergotamine, podophyllin, and digitalis. Other plant compounds such as atropine and reserpine are too expensive to synthesize, so pharmaceutical companies continue to rely on natural sources.
About eighty percent of people in developing countries still rely on medicinal plant-based traditional medicines for their primary health care. In the U.S., about twenty-five percent of prescriptions are filled with drugs whose active ingredients are extracted or derived from plants. Several of the drugs sold today are simple synthetic modifications or copies of the naturally obtained substances.
Approximately 120 prescription drugs are derived from plants, and these drugs come from only 95 plant species. Today there are at least 120 distinct chemical substances derived from plants that are considered as important drugs currently in use in one or more countries in the world. These chemical substances are shown in the table below.
We tend to think of prescription and cancer treatment drugs as coming from new medical plant discoveries, but there have been many drugs and chemicals that are commonplace now that we don’t think much as “wonder drugs” any longer that were derived from medicinal plants.

Poppies: The Poppy Family In The Wild And In Cultivation $43.38 This is the first book devoted solely to poppies, amongst the most loved and cherished plants in gardens.

This includes the horned poppies, Glaucium; the tree poppies, Dendromecon; the Californian poppies, Eschscholzia; the desert poppies, Arctomecon; the prickly poppies, Argemone; the pygmy poppies, Canbya; the plumed poppies, Macleaya; the blue poppies, Meconopsis; the long-fruited poppies, Roemeria; and many more besides.

There are general chapters on the poppy family, cultivation and classification; and a key to genera. Thereafter the individual genera, grouped into their respective subfamilies, are dealt with separately, including their more specialised cultural requirements. The species in each genus are dealt with in strict alphabetical order for convenience. Important synonyms have been included to avoid confusion or ambiguity. Botanical authorities are given for all recognised species and synonyms. This work will be very welcome to committed gardeners and horticulturalists as a much-needed – and profusely illustrated – source of practical and botanical information. |
