EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Sea Mango, or Cerbera manghas (Cerbera tanghin), a fascinating and intriguing plant from the mangrove forests of the Indian Ocean. The Sea Mango, also known as the Rosary Apple or Bead Tree, is a small, shrubby tree that produces round, red-orange fruits resembling small apples. The botanical illustration, taken from Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants, edited by Gustav Pabst, provides a detailed and accurate representation of the plant's morphology. The image showcases the tree's slender branches, glossy leaves, and the clusters of small, bell-shaped flowers that bloom before the fruits appear. The Sea Mango has a rich cultural and medicinal history. Indigenous peoples of the Indian Ocean have used various parts of the plant for various purposes, including as a fish poison, a source of red dye, and for treating various ailments. The seeds contain a potent alkaloid called cerberin, which is used in traditional medicine for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. Despite its intriguing properties, the Sea Mango is also known for its toxicity. All parts of the plant, except for the ripe fruits, contain cerberin, which can be deadly if ingested in large quantities. This makes it essential to handle the plant with care and to only consume the ripe fruits. This beautiful chromolithograph not only serves as a testament to the botanical accuracy of the time but also highlights the importance of preserving the natural world and its medicinal treasures. The Sea Mango remains an intriguing and fascinating plant, with its unique characteristics and rich cultural and medicinal history.
