EDITORS COMMENTS
Mandragora officinaris, commonly known as the mandrake, is a fascinating and enigmatic plant that has captivated the imagination of people for centuries. This illustration, taken from "The Herbal of Generall Historie of Plantes" by John Gerard, published in 1636, provides a detailed and accurate depiction of both the male and female forms of this remarkable plant. John Gerard (1545-1612), an English botanist and herbalist, meticulously documented the mandrake's appearance and properties in his seminal work. The illustration, edited by Thomas Johnson, showcases the distinct differences between the male and female mandrakes. The male plant is depicted as having a humanoid shape with elongated roots that resemble arms and legs, while the female is shown as a less distinct, more root-like form. Both plants bear bell-shaped, funnel-like flowers that are typical of the Solanaceae family, to which the mandrake belongs. The mandrake 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, a subgroup of dicots that have certain characteristics. The mandrake is also an asterid, a type of flowering plant that is part of the larger group of angiosperms known as the magnoliophytes. Throughout history, the mandrake has been the subject of many myths and legends. It was believed to have powerful medicinal properties and was used in various traditional remedies. The roots were thought to resemble the human form and were believed to scream when pulled from the ground, leading to various rituals and precautions being taken during harvesting. Today, the mandrake remains a subject of fascination for botanists, gardeners, and those with an interest in the natural world.
