Rough Bindweed, Smilax aspera: A Stunning Botanical Illustration from Diederich von Schlechtendal's German Flora (1871) This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the intricate details of Rough Bindweed, Smilax aspera, a fascinating plant in the Smilacaceae family. The illustration is taken from Diederich von Schlechtendal's renowned botanical publication, Flora von Deutschland, published in Jena, Germany, in 1871. Rough Bindweed, also known as Asper bindweed or Prickly bindweed, is a perennial vine native to Europe, Asia, and North America. Its stems are covered in sharp, prickly hairs, giving it its common name. The plant produces beautiful, white or pinkish-purple flowers that bloom in clusters during the summer months. These flowers are pollinated by various insects, including bees and butterflies, and give way to small, red berries. The botanical illustration captures the essence of Rough Bindweed's unique characteristics, from its prickly stems to the delicate details of its flowers. The handcolouring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art. Diederich von Schlechtendal was a renowned botanist and publisher who dedicated his life to documenting the natural world. His comprehensive work, Flora von Deutschland, is considered one of the most important botanical publications of the 19th century. This stunning illustration of Rough Bindweed is a testament to his dedication and the beauty of the natural world.
