      the king's, the father of Jerahmeel, mentioned in Jer. 36:26.
      Some take this word as a common noun, "the king", and understand

      be taken as a proper name.

      which grows quickly and luxuriantly; of a bitter taste, and
      therefore coupled with wormwood (Deut. 29:18; Lam. 3:19). Hence
      it would seem to be not the hemlock cicuta, nor the colocynth or
      wild gourd, nor lolium darnel, but the poppy so called from its
      heads" (Gesenius, Lex.).

      29:18, Text 17; Prov. 5:4; Jer. 9:15; 23:15. Once it is rendered
      "hemlock" (Amos 6:12; R.V., "wormwood"). This Hebrew word is
      from a root meaning "to curse," hence the accursed.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
