EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Rattan palm, scientifically known as Calamus discolor, also referred to as Calamus lindenii. The image was meticulously created by the skilled hand of Belgian botanical artist P. de Pannemaeker for Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole, published in Brussels in 1883. The Rattan palm is a tropical plant native to Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. It is easily recognizable by its slender, cane-like stems, which are used to make rattan furniture and other products. The Calamus discolor is an evergreen palm that can grow up to 20 meters tall. Its large, pinnate leaves are a beautiful green color with distinct white midribs, as depicted in this exquisite illustration. The plant's crown is composed of numerous leafy fronds, which provide a lush, exotic appearance. The Rattan palm is an essential component of tropical ecosystems, providing food and shelter for various wildlife. Its stems are also an important resource for local communities, who use them for a variety of purposes, including weaving baskets, making roofing materials, and constructing furniture. This chromolithograph is a testament to the beauty and importance of the natural world. It provides a glimpse into the past, when botanical illustrations were a primary means of documenting and sharing knowledge about the world's diverse plant life. Today, it serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting the world's tropical forests and the unique plants and animals they contain.
