EDITORS COMMENTS
This botanical illustration, created by the skilled hand of PJF Turpin in 1837, showcases a composite plant, an imaginary construct designed to elucidate various plant parts and their functions. The intricate illustration is taken from Oeuvres d'Histoire Naturelle de Goethe, published by CF Martin. At the heart of this illustration lies a flowering plant from the Asteraceae, or Compositae, family, commonly known as the aster or sunflower family. The plant is depicted in all its complexity, from its robust stem that anchors it to the ground, to its extensive root system that sustains its growth. The stem, adorned with leaves, branches out to bear the inflorescence, a dense cluster of flowers. The composite flower, a type of flower unique to the Angiospermae, or flowering plants, is highlighted in this illustration. The flower head is composed of numerous small flowers, collectively known as florets, which are grouped into two types: the outer ray flowers and the inner disc flowers. The ray flowers are typically large and showy, while the disc flowers are smaller and clustered in the center. This composite plant is classified as an eudicot, a type of Angiosperm that possesses two embryonic seed leaves, or cotyledons. It belongs to the Magnoliophyta division, which includes all seed-bearing plants. The illustration also reveals the presence of an asterid, a type of flowering plant that is part of the larger clade of Asterales. This exquisite botanical illustration, a testament to the artistic and scientific prowess of the time, continues to captivate audiences with its intricate details and accurate representation of the composite plant. It remains an invaluable resource for botanical research and a stunning example of the art and illustration of the 19th century.
