EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite botanical illustration is a captivating representation of the Orangier des Gènes, also known as Arancio di Genova or the Genoa Sweet Orange, as depicted in Tab. 8 from Antoine Risso's Histoire naturelle des Orangers, published between 1818 and 1820. Antoine Risso (1777-1845), a renowned French naturalist, meticulously documented the various species of oranges in this comprehensive work. The illustration showcases the vibrant and intricate details of the Orangier des Gènes' flowers, leaves, and fruit. The orange tree, a flowering plant belonging to the citrus genus and the Rutaceae family, is an angiosperm, a type of seed-bearing plant that produces enclosed seeds. This particular species, Citrus sinensis, is a dicotyledon, meaning it has two seed leaves or cotyledons, and is classified as an eudicot, a subgroup of dicots. The Orangier des Gènes is characterized by its long, green, and slightly curved fruit, which is prized for its sweet and juicy segments. The tree bears white, five-petaled flowers with a yellow center, which give way to the fruit. The leaves are large, glossy, and green, with a distinct shape that resembles that of a hand with outstretched fingers. This illustration is a testament to the beauty and complexity of the natural world, providing a window into the botanical wonders of the 19th century. The intricate details and accurate depiction of the Orangier des Gènes serve as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
