Spiranthes Splendor: Vintage Botanicals from 1904
About the Item
The collage consists of two botanical illustrations from the book 'Abbildungen der in Deutschland und den angrenzende Gebieten vorkommenden Grundformen der ORCHIDEEN-ARTEN' by Walter Müller, published in 1904. These illustrations provide detailed depictions of two species of the genus Spiranthes, which are known for their distinctive spiral arrangement of flowers.
The first print is of Spiranthes aestivalis, which is characterized by its slender, grass-like leaves and a tall, straight floral spike adorned with small, delicate white flowers that spiral around the stem. The detailed illustrations include dissections of the floral parts, showcasing the internal structures essential for identification and botanical study.
The second print depicts Spiranthes autumnalis, similar in form to aestivalis but often blooming in a different season, as suggested by the name. It also displays the spiral arrangement of flowers, a trait synonymous with the genus. This print further includes detailed views of the plant’s tuberous root system, which is typical for orchids, along with a sectional view of the flower.
Both illustrations are precise and clearly labeled, which is indicative of their intended use for scientific education and accurate identification of orchid species. The level of detail in both the floral structures and the root systems is noteworthy and demonstrates the quality of botanical artistry and scientific inquiry of the early 20th century. These prints not only served as important scientific records but also as exquisite representations of the natural beauty found in orchid species.
