EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite botanical illustration, Tab. 70 from Antoine Risso's Histoire naturelle des Orangers published between 1818 and 1820, showcases the captivating beauty of Limonier sauvage, also known as Limone sylvatico or the wild lemon. This illustration offers a detailed and accurate representation of the flower, leaves, and fruit of this lesser-known citrus species. The Limonier sauvage is a flowering plant belonging to the Aurantaceae family, which is part of the larger group of Eudicots, Angiosperms, and Dicots. Its long, narrow leaves are adorned with small, delicate hairs, giving them a soft, velvety texture. The plant produces small, green, cross-shaped flowers, which give way to round, juicy fruits. This illustration is a testament to the meticulous work of Antoine Risso, a renowned naturalist and botanist of the 19th century. Risso's dedication to documenting the natural world is evident in the intricate details and precise shading of this illustration. The delicate folds of the petals, the veins on the leaves, and the tiny hairs on the fruit surface are all rendered with remarkable accuracy. The Limonier sauvage is a rare and fascinating find in the world of citrus plants. Its unique characteristics set it apart from the more commonly known varieties, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection. This illustration not only serves as a beautiful decorative piece but also as an important record of the natural world, capturing the essence of this intriguing plant for future generations to appreciate and study.
