1. Title: Cassava, Yuca, or Manioc Plant: A Botanical Marvel of Tropical Regions This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving, created by Debray after Edouard Maubert's botanical illustration, showcases the remarkable Cassava, Yuca, or Manioc Plant (Manihot esculenta, Manihot edulis, Manioc). This image is an essential piece from the comprehensive work "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale" by Pierre Oscar Reveil, published by A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs between 1864 and 1871 in Paris. The Cassava, Yuca, or Manioc Plant is a vital food source in tropical regions, particularly in Africa, South America, and the Caribbean. Its scientific name, Manihot esculenta and Manihot edulis, refers to its edible roots, which are rich in carbohydrates and provide essential nutrients. The plant is also known by various other names, including manioc, mandioca, and arrowroot. The intricately detailed engraving reveals the various aspects of the plant, from its sprawling, tuberous roots to its slender stems and heart-shaped leaves. The hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, highlighting the plant's distinct features and making it a stunning addition to any botanical collection. This botanical illustration is a testament to the beauty and importance of the natural world, providing a glimpse into the rich diversity of tropical plants and their role in sustaining human life. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying the natural world for future generations. The Cassava, Yuca, or Manioc Plant is not only a vital food source but also holds cultural significance in many communities. Its versatility and adaptability make it an essential component of various traditional dishes and culinary practices. This engraving serves as a tribute to the plant's historical, cultural, and botanical importance.
