Some Indians cherished the poppy as both a source of food and for oil extracted from the plant. Its botanical name, Eschscholtzia Californica, was given by Adelbert von Chamisso, a naturalist and member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences, who dropped anchor in San Francisco in 1816 in a bay surrounded by hills of the golden flowers.
