EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving showcases Rescuegrass or Schraders Bromegrass, scientifically known as Bromus catharticus, Bromus schraderi, or Brome de Schrader. The image, created by the skilled hands of Debray, is based on a botanical illustration by Edouard Maubert, originally published in Pierre Oscar Reveil's comprehensive work "La Regne Vegetal: Planets Agricoles et Forestieres" between 1864 and 1871. Rescuegrass is a valuable and hardy perennial grass species, native to Europe and Asia. It is characterized by its slender, rhizomatous growth habit and dense, tufted inflorescences. The grass displays narrow, linear leaves that are rolled inward when young, gradually unfurling as they mature. The inflorescences, which appear in late spring and early summer, are composed of small, spike-like panicles that bear numerous tiny, brownish-purple flowers. Historically, Rescuegrass has been used for various purposes, including forage for livestock, erosion control, and even medicinal applications due to its cathartic properties. Its ability to thrive in a wide range of conditions, including poor soils and drought, has made it a popular choice for restoring degraded lands and improving overall biodiversity in pastures and prairies. This engraving not only serves as a testament to the intricacies of botanical illustration but also highlights the importance of Rescuegrass as a valuable and versatile plant species. Its timeless beauty and significance continue to inspire appreciation and admiration in the fields of botany, agriculture, and beyond.
