About the Item
The print is a botanical illustration from "Rumphia," which is a work by Carl Ludwig Blume, a noted 19th-century German-Dutch botanist.
This particular illustration is from volume 3, which was published in 1847, and shows plate (tab.) number 149. The plant depicted is Calamus melanoloma Mart., and it notes a synonym as Calamus anceps Blume. This indicates that the plant may have been initially described with one name (anceps) by Blume, but was later recognized under the name melanoloma by Mart. (which likely refers to the German botanist Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius).
The plant belongs to the family Palmae, subfamily Calamoideae, tribe Calameae, and subtribe Calaminae. The epithet "anceps" was the cited name, but the recognized epithet is "melanoloma," which should be appended with the appropriate Latin gender ending as "melanolomus" for masculine, "melanoloma" for feminine, and "melanolomum" for neuter, depending on the grammatical gender of the genus name Calamus.
Botanical illustrations like this were crucial for scientific communication during that period, allowing botanists and other scientists to study plants from far-off lands with a level of precision that was not possible with written descriptions alone. The detailed nature of these illustrations also means they are still valuable today for historical and scientific reference.
