EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning botanical illustration showcases the lush and vibrant Mangifera indica, more commonly known as the mango tree, as depicted in the Fleming Indian Drawings Collection, housed in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. Dating back to the nineteenth century, this illustration offers a captivating glimpse into the rich botanical heritage of India. Mangifera indica is an essential member of the Anacardiaceae family, a group of flowering plants that also includes cashews and poison ivy. As an angiosperm, dicot, and eudicot, this plant is characterized by its two seed leaves, or cotyledons, and its flowering nature. The mango tree is further classified as a rosid, a subgroup of the larger eudicot clade, and a member of the Malvidae family. The mango tree is renowned for its delicious, juicy, and succulent fruits, which come in various shades of green and red. The fruit's sweet, aromatic flesh encases a single seed, which is often eaten or used for propagation. Mangoes have long been a staple food in India and other tropical regions, providing essential nutrients and sustenance to millions. This exquisite illustration, created by an unknown artist during the 19th century, offers a testament to the beauty and importance of the natural world. Dr. John Fleming, the collector of this illustration, was a prominent figure in the field of botany during the time, and his extensive collection continues to inspire and educate researchers, horticulturists, and plant enthusiasts around the globe. The Mangifera indica, with its rich history, cultural significance, and delectable fruits, remains an enduring symbol of the natural wonders that continue to captivate and inspire us.
