Rain Droplets On Celandine Poppy Stylophorum Diphyllum Leaves Stock Photo

Stylophorum diphyllum, commonly called the celandine-poppy or woods-poppy, is an herbaceous plant in the poppy family Papaveraceae. It is native to North America, where it is found in the eastern United States and Ontario. Its typical natural habitat is moist forests over calcareous rock, particularly in ravines. The common name is derived from greater celandine Chelidonium majus, a closely related European plant with similar flowers and leaves. It grows to about 1.5 feet tall, from underground rhizomes. Leaves are pinnately cut and lobed. They grow from the base of the plant, and in a pair at the top of the flowering stems.
