EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration on Page 286 of Flora Exotica 1720, by Johanne Godfredo Simula, showcases the Malum aurantium vulgare, commonly known as the orange. Oranges are edible citrus fruits that are both juicy and delightfully sweet, making them a beloved fruit around the world. The orange tree is an evergreen angiosperm, belonging to the Rutaceae family and the genus Citrus. It is a dicot, meaning it is a flowering plant that develops two cotyledons upon germination. Oranges are native to Southeast Asia and have been cultivated for thousands of years for their fruit and essential oils. This illustration captures the intricate details of the orange tree's flowers, leaves, and fruit. The tree produces white, five-petaled flowers that give way to the round, orange-colored fruit. The bitter orange, also known as Seville orange or Citrus aurantium, is a variety of the orange tree that is prized for its sour fruits, which are used in cooking and marmalade production. Oranges are an important source of vitamin C and other essential nutrients. The tree is a member of the Sapindales order, which also includes other well-known plants such as the lychee and the soapberry. The orange tree is a eudicot, which means it is a flowering plant that is part of the Rosid clade, a large group of flowering plants that includes the rose and the sunflower. Johanne Godfredo Simula was a renowned botanical illustrator of the 18th century. His work, including this illustration of the orange tree, is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world. This illustration is a reminder of the rich history of plant discovery and the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world.
