Antique Botanical Flower Print of Spigelia Marilandica or Indian Pink, ca.1821
About the Item
Antique botanical print titled 'MSpigélie du Maryland'. This print shows the Spigelia Marilandica, also known as the Indian pink or woodland pinkroot. It is a herbacious perennial wildflower in the Loganiaceae family native to inland areas of the Southeastern and Midwestern United States. This print originates from 'Phytographie Medicale' by Joseph Roques. Engraved by Édouard Auguste Patrice Hocquart. Published circa 1821.
Édouard Auguste Patrice Hocquart (1789–1870), frequently cited as L. F. J. Hoquart, was a French publisher, writer, artist and engraver, noted for his colour plates illustrating Joseph R. Roques's (1772–1850) materia medica publication Phytographie médicale of 1821–1824.
More about the flower:
The Spigelia marilandica, commonly known as Indian Pink or Woodland Pinkroot, is notable for several reasons that make it a special and valued plant:
1. **Vibrant Beauty**: The Indian Pink is highly regarded for its striking beauty. It produces vibrant, tubular flowers that are red on the outside and yellow on the inside, creating a striking contrast. The blooms are not only visually appealing but also attract hummingbirds and beneficial pollinators to the garden.
2. **Medicinal Properties**: Historically, the Woodland Pinkroot has been used for its medicinal properties. It was used by Native Americans and early settlers as a vermifuge to expel worms. However, it's important to note that the plant is toxic and should be used with caution and under professional guidance.
3. **Shade Tolerance**: Unlike many flowering plants that require full sun to thrive, Spigelia marilandica is shade-tolerant and can flourish in woodland settings or shaded garden areas. This makes it a valuable plant for gardeners looking to add color and life to darker parts of their gardens.
4. **Native Plant Conservation**: As a native plant to the southeastern and midwestern United States, the Indian Pink plays a role in local ecosystems, supporting native pollinators and contributing to the biodiversity of the area. Its use in landscaping and gardens can help support conservation efforts and promote the health of local ecosystems.
5. **Low Maintenance**: Spigelia marilandica is considered low maintenance, requiring minimal care once established. It is also deer-resistant, making it an excellent choice for gardens in areas where deer browsing can be a problem.
6. **Versatility in Landscaping**: Its compact size and attractive appearance make it versatile for various landscaping uses, including border plantings, woodland gardens, and native plant gardens.
Overall, the Spigelia marilandica's unique combination of beauty, medicinal history, ecological value, and ease of care make it a special and desirable plant for gardeners and conservationists alike.
