EDITORS COMMENTS
Silybum marianum, commonly known as milk thistle, is a striking and distinctive plant belonging to the Asteraceae or Compositae family. This beautiful illustration, entitled "Chardon Marie," showcases the intricate details of this flowering plant. The plant is characterized by its tall, sturdy stem and large, spiky leaves, which are covered in a silvery coating, giving it the common name "milk thistle." The illustration reveals the plant's complex inflorescence, with its purple flowers arranged in a spike or panicle. Each flower is composed of a ring of ligulate flowers surrounded by tubular disc flowers, typical of the Asterales order. Milk thistle is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. It is a dicot, meaning it has two cotyledons or seed leaves, and is classified as an eudicot, which is further differentiated from other dicots by certain characteristics of its seeds and flowers. Milk thistle is native to Europe, North Africa, and Asia, and is now widely distributed throughout the world due to its cultivation for medicinal and agricultural purposes. The plant is known for its medicinal properties, particularly its ability to support liver health. The milky latex found in the plant's stem and leaves is believed to be responsible for these benefits. This illustration, held in the Botany Library Plate Collection at the Natural History Museum in London, is a testament to the beauty and complexity of the natural world. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying the natural world, both for its aesthetic value and for the potential benefits it can provide to humanity.
