EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph depicts the enchanting Felt-capped Catasetum orchid, scientifically known as Catasetum pileatum or C. bungerothii. The Mother of Pearl flower, as it is also called, was first brought to international attention when it was exhibited in London in 1886. The intricately detailed illustration was produced by the renowned Belgian botanical artist, P. de Pannemaeker, for the esteemed horticultural publication, Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole, published in Ghent. Jean Linden (1817-1898) was a pioneering figure in the world of botanical exploration, horticulture, and scientific publishing. His meticulously crafted books and publications showcased the most rare and exotic flora from around the globe. The Felt-capped Catasetum orchid, with its striking felt-like caps covering the labellum, was a particularly prized discovery. The Felt-capped Catasetum orchid is native to the tropical rainforests of South America and is known for its unique pollination mechanism. The labellum, which is covered in felt-like hairs, attracts male beetles, which mistake it for a female beetle. Once the beetle lands on the labellum, it is trapped and the orchid's pollen is transferred to the beetle's body. This beautiful and historically significant illustration provides a captivating glimpse into the rich botanical discoveries of the late 19th century and the remarkable work of Jean Linden and P. de Pannemaeker.
