EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century illustration depicts Haplophyllum patavinum, also known as Ruta patavina, a beautiful and historically significant flowering plant. The plant is shown in full bloom, with its vibrant yellow flowers unfurling against a backdrop of lush green foliage. Haplophyllum patavinum is a member of the Rutaceae family, which also includes citrus fruits, and is native to Europe and western Asia. This eudicot angiosperm, belonging to the order Rosales and the family Aurantaceae, was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his seminal work "Species Plantarum" in 1753, under the name Ruta patavina. However, this illustration predates Linnaeus' description, as it was produced between 1707 and 1778 by the Italian botanical illustrator Pietro Antonio Micheli. The illustration showcases the intricate details of the plant's anatomy, including the veins on the leaves and the arrangement of the flowers. The plant is depicted with a long, sturdy stem and a bushy growth habit, typical of the Haplophyllum genus. Haplophyllum patavinum was valued for its medicinal properties in ancient times, and was used to treat a variety of ailments, including digestive issues and skin conditions. The plant's essential oil was also used as a perfume and a flavoring agent. This illustration is a testament to the rich history of botanical discovery and documentation, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world. It is a stunning example of the artistry and scientific precision that characterized the work of 18th century botanical illustrators like Pietro Antonio Micheli.
