EDITORS COMMENTS
Paraguay Jaborandi, Pilocarpus pennatifolius, is a medicinal plant native to South America, specifically Paraguay and northern Argentina. This stunning chromolithograph is a beautiful representation of the plant, created by renowned botanical illustrator Walther Muller for Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants, edited by Gustav Pabst, published in Germany in 1887. The Paraguay Jaborandi plant is easily identifiable by its pinnate leaves, which are dark green and deeply lobed, creating a feathery appearance. The plant can grow up to 3 meters tall and produces small, yellow-green flowers that bloom in clusters. The most notable feature of this plant, however, is its round, orange-red fruits, which are seen in abundance in this illustration. The Paraguay Jaborandi plant has been used in traditional medicine for centuries, particularly for its ability to lower intraocular pressure and treat glaucoma. The active ingredient, pilocarpine, is derived from the plant and has been used in modern medicine since the late 19th century. The plant's leaves are also used to treat various gastrointestinal disorders and as a diuretic. This exquisite chromolithograph not only showcases the beauty of the Paraguay Jaborandi plant but also highlights its importance in the field of medicinal botany. The intricate details captured by Walther Muller allow us to appreciate the plant's unique features and understand its significance in the world of natural remedies.
