EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases three exquisite plant specimens from Hans Sloane's extensive botanical collection, as documented in Volume 211, page 29. The first specimen is Viola violacea, commonly known as the common blue violet or heartsease. This beautiful viola is a member of the Violaceae family, which is part of the larger order Malpighiales and the class Eudicots. The vibrant, violaceous flowers bloom atop stems adorned with green, heart-shaped leaves. Next to the violet is Oxalis corniculata, commonly known as the yellow wood sorrel or sourgrass. This oxalis is a member of the Oxalidaceae family, which is part of the larger order Oxalidales and the class Rosids. The plant produces yellow, heart-shaped flowers with a distinctive five-pointed star shape. The leaves of this plant are also notable for their oxalic acid content, giving them a sour taste and a distinctive lemony flavor. The third specimen is Trachelospermum asiaticum, a member of the Apocynaceae family, which is part of the larger order Malpighiales and the class Eudicots. This trachelospermum is commonly known as the Asian star jasmine or confetti bush. The plant produces small, white, star-shaped flowers that bloom in clusters, giving it an elegant and fragrant appearance. These stunning specimens offer a glimpse into Hans Sloane's extensive botanical collection, which was instrumental in the development of modern taxonomy and botanical science. The intricate details of their flowers and leaves are preserved in this print, providing a window into the natural world and the beauty of the plant kingdom.
