India: 'The Opium Fleet descending The Ganges en route to Calcutta'. In 1773, the British East India Company obtained a monopoly over Indian opium, chiefly for export to China
Image description

Opium poppy, Papaver somniferum, is the species of plant from which opium and poppy seeds are extracted. Opium is the source of many opiates, 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.
