À propos de cet article

Here are descriptions of the eight botanical illustrations, including the Latin and English names of the plants, why they are significant, and details about the creators and the technique used to produce these antique prints. 1. Stanhopea x bellaerensis - Latin Name: *Stanhopea x bellaerensis* - Common Name: Stanhopea Orchid Hybrid - Special Features: This orchid species is known for its striking yellow petals, which are speckled with red-brown spots. Orchids in the *Stanhopea* genus are highly prized by collectors for their complex flower structures and enchanting fragrance. What makes *Stanhopea* orchids particularly interesting is their habit of blooming downward, requiring the flowers to grow through slats or hanging pots, as depicted in the print. - Artist: L. Descamps-Sabouret - Technique: Chromolithography, printed by G. Severyns in Brussels. 2. Physalis Franchetii - Latin Name: *Physalis Franchetii* - Common Name: Chinese Lantern Plant - Special Features: The *Physalis* is known for its bright orange, lantern-like husk that surrounds the fruit, making it a popular ornamental plant. The lantern-like structure is actually the enlarged calyx of the flower. The plant is interesting for both its ornamental appeal and its edible fruits, which are enclosed in these colorful, papery husks. - Artist: L. Descamps-Sabouret - Technique: Chromolithography by J.L. Goffart in Brussels. 3. Mutisia viciaefolia - Latin Name: *Mutisia viciaefolia* - Common Name: Mutisia - Special Features: This climbing vine is native to the Andean regions of South America. It features bright, red-orange flowers with striking contrast against its fern-like leaves. What makes *Mutisia* interesting is its adaptation to high-altitude environments, where its flowers attract hummingbirds for pollination. Its vibrant color and exotic origin make it a special plant in both horticulture and botanical studies. - Artist: Godart - Technique: Chromolithography by G. Severyns. 4. Erigeron aurantiacus - Latin Name: *Erigeron aurantiacus* - Common Name: Orange Fleabane - Special Features: This species is characterized by its vivid orange, daisy-like flowers. It is a perennial plant that is native to Central Asia and is often used in alpine gardens due to its hardiness and striking floral display. The bright orange color is uncommon in the *Erigeron* genus, making this species highly sought after by gardeners. - Artist: Godart - Technique: Chromolithography by G. Severyns. 5. Caraguata conifera - Latin Name: *Caraguata conifera* (now more commonly referred to as *Aechmea conifera*) - Common Name: Conifer Bromeliad - Special Features: This plant, a member of the Bromeliad family, is known for its vibrant conical inflorescence with bright red and yellow bracts. Native to tropical regions, it thrives in humid conditions and is an epiphyte, meaning it grows on other plants. Its ornamental and exotic appearance makes it highly valued among collectors. - Artist: L. Descamps-Sabouret - Technique: Chromolithography by G. Severyns. 6. Odontoglossum Rossii majus and Sophronitis grandiflora aurantiaca - Latin Names: *Odontoglossum Rossii majus* and *Sophronitis grandiflora aurantiaca* - Common Names: Ross's Odontoglossum and Sophronitis Orchid - Special Features: These two orchids are shown together. *Odontoglossum Rossii* is known for its mottled sepals and petals with intricate color patterns, while *Sophronitis grandiflora* is admired for its fiery red flowers. Both species are rare and highly collectible due to their stunning blooms and difficulty in cultivation. Orchids are particularly fascinating for their intricate reproductive structures, which have evolved to attract specific pollinators. - Artist: Godart - Technique: Chromolithography by G. Severyns. 7. Tritoma nobilis - Latin Name: *Tritoma nobilis* (now commonly referred to as *Kniphofia nobilis*) - Common Name: Red Hot Poker - Special Features: This striking plant, native to South Africa, is known for its tall flower spikes that transition in color from bright red at the top to yellow at the base, resembling a torch. The vibrant colors attract hummingbirds and other pollinators. The plant is particularly interesting for its heat tolerance and dramatic appearance in gardens. - Artist: Godart - Technique: Chromolithography by G. Severyns. 8. Neumannia arcuata - Latin Name: *Neumannia arcuata* - Common Name: Neumann's Orchid - Special Features: This epiphytic orchid is known for its slender red bracts and green foliage. It is native to tropical rainforests, where it clings to trees and other surfaces. Orchids like *Neumannia arcuata* are fascinating due to their ability to grow in the canopy of the rainforest, surviving on minimal soil and absorbing nutrients from the air and rain. - Artist: Coriat - Technique: Chromolithography by G. Severyns. Why These Plants Are Special: - Aesthetic Appeal: The vivid colors, unusual shapes, and textures of these plants make them highly desirable in both horticulture and botanical illustration. - Ecological Importance: Many of these species are native to tropical and subtropical regions, playing important roles in their ecosystems by providing food and shelter for various pollinators, including hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. - Horticultural Value* Many of these plants have been introduced into cultivation due to their ornamental appeal. Their exotic origins and unusual forms make them favorites in gardens and greenhouses around the world. Artists and Maker: - L. Descamps-Sabouret, Godart, and Coriat: These botanical artists were notable contributors to the world of scientific illustration in the 19th century. Their work was crucial in helping botanists and horticulturists study, identify, and classify new plant species. - Chromolithography by G. Severyns, J.L. Goffart: These prints were created using chromolithography, a labor-intensive color printing technique that allowed for rich, multi-colored images to be produced. The process was particularly well-suited to botanical illustrations, as it enabled artists to capture the vivid colors and intricate details of plants. Severyns and Goffart were among the best chromolithographers in Belgium, known for their high-quality prints. Technique - Chromolithography: - Chromolithography was a revolutionary color printing technique developed in the 19th century. It involved using multiple stones or plates, one for each color, to build up an image layer by layer. This method allowed artists to create prints with a high degree of color accuracy and detail, making it ideal for botanical illustrations. The process required great skill and precision, as each color had to be aligned perfectly to produce a cohesive and vibrant final image. Chromolithographs were widely used in scientific publications, like *Revue Horticole*, to depict new plant species in an accurate and attractive manner.
