EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Merle Palmiste, or Palmist Blackbird (Molothrus rufoaxillaris), is depicted in this stunning illustration from Plate 70 of Vieillot's Histoire naturelle des oiseaux d'Amérique Centrale, Volume 12. This exquisite work, created in the early 19th century, showcases the Blackbird's vibrant plumage and intricate details, with its rust-colored wings and tail contrasting against its glossy black body. The bird is perched on a Cabbage Tree (Brassica oleracea), a flowering plant from the Brassicaceae family, also known as the Cruciferae or Mustard Family. Native to Central and South America, this dicotyledon, or eudicot, is an angiosperm, belonging to the Magnoliophyta division, and is widely cultivated for its edible leaves and buds. The Blackbird, a passerine bird and member of the Passeriformes order, is shown pecking at the cabbage tree's leaves, likely drawn to its nutritious and succulent foliage. The illustration also highlights the tree's attractive yellow flowers, which bloom in clusters and add a pop of color to the scene. This image offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of Central America and the intricate relationships between animals and plants.
