Description –<\/span><\/h2>\n

It grows with a stem to 100 cm (39 in) long with lanceolate leaves. The flowers are up to 5 cm (2.0 in) in diameter, usually single at the ends of the stem. The sepals have five narrow teeth much longer than the petals. It has ten stamens. It has slender pink flowers. It is an erect plant covered with fine hairs. Its few branches are each tipped with a single deep pink to purple flower. The flowers are scentless, 25\u201350\u00a0mm (1.0\u20132.0\u00a0in) across, and produced in the summer months \u2013 May to September .<\/p>\n

Each petal bears two or three discontinuous black lines. The five narrow pointed sepals exceed the petals and are joined at the base to form a rigid tube with ten ribs. Leaves are pale green, opposite, narrowly lanceolate, held nearly erect against stem and are 45\u2013145\u00a0mm (1.8\u20135.7\u00a0in) long. Seeds are produced in a many-seeded capsule. It can be found in fields, roadsides, railway lines, waste places, and other disturbed areas.<\/p>\n

Ecology<\/span><\/h2>\n

In the 19th century, it was reported as a very common weed of\u00a0European\u00a0wheat fields and its seeds were inadvertently included in harvested wheat seed and then resown the following season. It is very likely that until the 20th century, most wheat contained some corn cockle seed.<\/p>\n

Distribution<\/span><\/h2>\n

Intensive mechanized farming has put the plant at risk and it is now uncommon or locally distributed. This is partly due to changing patterns of agriculture with most wheat now sown in the autumn as\u00a0winter wheat\u00a0and then harvested before any corn cockle would have flowered or set seed. The main reason, however, is that the cereal seed is better cleaned. The plant was believed to be completely\u00a0extirpated\u00a0in the\u00a0United Kingdom\u00a0until 2014, when a single specimen was found growing in\u00a0Sunderland\u00a0by an assistant ranger of the\u00a0National Trust.<\/p>\n

It can be found in fields, roadsides, railway lines, waste places, and other disturbed areas.<\/p>\n

Toxicity<\/span><\/h2>\n

All parts of the plant are\u00a0poisonous\u00a0and contain\u00a0githagin\u00a0and\u00a0agrostemmic acid. It has been used in\u00a0folk medicine despite the risk of fatal poisoning.<\/p>\n
