Floral Array: Botanical Chromolithographs of 1879
About the Item
The images depict a variety of plants featured in Thomas Meehan's "The Native Flowers and Ferns of the United States," published in 1879. Here's a description of the plants shown in the images:
1. **Aster linariifolius** (Plate 10): This illustration shows a tall, slender plant with linear leaves and a branching stem topped with small, yellow-centered flowers with drooping, narrow petals in a warm yellow color.
2. **Scutellaria wrightii** (Plate 11): Known as Wright's skullcap, this plant has square stems and opposite, ovate leaves. The flowers are tubular and purple, with two lips and emerge from leaf axils.
3. **Silene stellata** (Plate 12): Commonly known as the starry campion, this plant features clusters of white flowers with fringed petals atop a tall stem with opposite, lanceolate leaves.
4. **Stokesia laevis** (Plate 13): Also known as Stokes' aster, this plant has large, lavender-blue flowers with numerous slender petals radiating from a yellow center, similar to a cornflower. The leaves are lanceolate and form a basal rosette.
5. **Talinum teretifolium** (Plate 14): This plant, possibly a species of Talinum, displays small, rounded leaves with cylindrical stems and dainty pink flowers on delicate, thin stalks.
6. **Lysimachia quadrifolia** (Plate 15): This species, known as whorled loosestrife, is characterized by its whorled leaves and small, yellow flowers with five pointed petals and red centers.
These botanical illustrations are detailed and vibrant, designed not only for scientific identification but also to showcase the beauty of these native species. The chromolithograph technique used in these illustrations captures the vivid colors and intricate details of each plant, reflecting the high level of artistry and botanical knowledge of the era.
