The poppy family (Papaveraceae) are mostly annual, biennial, perennial or herbaceous plants. There are only a few shrubs or trees. The plants of this family usually contain milky sap.
The stem leaves are alternate, usually there are no stipules. The flowers, which are always hermaphrodite, are solitary or clustered together in inflorescences of various structures. Often capsule fruits are formed.
The family Papaveraceae is divided into two subfamilies: The Papaveroideae and the Fumarioideae. The Papaveroideae subfamily is divided into three tribus:
Chelidonieae, Eschscholzieae (this includes species such as the California poppy), and Papavereae.
Some species of the Papaveraceae are cultivated as ornamentals.
