Lichen Varieties: A Collection of Symbiotic Elegance Engraved and Colored, 1845
About the Item
The image is an intricate hand-colored engraving showcasing a variety of lichen species. Lichens are symbiotic organisms composed of fungi and algae living together. They are known for their diverse forms and are often found growing on rocks, trees, and soil. The different species in this engraving are labeled with their scientific names:
1. **Gassicourtie écarlate** - Possibly a lichen with a bright scarlet coloration.
2. **Calicier Chrysocéphale** - Likely a lichen from the genus Calicium, which has yellowish, head-like fruiting bodies.
3. **Sarcographie Des quinquinas** - This may refer to a lichen that grows on cinchona trees, which are known for producing quinine.
4. **Verrucaire De gaudichaud** - Could be a wart-like lichen, named after the botanist Charles Gaudichaud-Beaupré.
5. **Collema Azuré** - Likely refers to a blue-colored Collema species, which are jelly-like lichens.
6. **Scyphophore Didyme** - This could be a cup-shaped lichen with a paired or twin-like structure.
7. **Parmélie Couronnée** - Refers to a type of foliose lichen from the genus Parmelia, known for their leafy, lobed thalli.
8. **Plectocarpon Dedelise** - This could be a type of lichen with intricately branched fruiting bodies.
9. **Solorine Des quinquinas** - Another lichen species that may grow on cinchona trees.
10. **Cétraire Du genévrier** - Likely a lichen that grows on juniper, from the genus Cetraria.
The print from 'The 'Dictionnaire Classique des Sciences Naturelles' by Pierre Auguste Joseph Drapiez is a beautifully detailed representation of these complex organisms, vital for the study and classification of lichen species in the 19th century.
