EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Majestic Sandarac Tree: A Botanical Marvel from the Barbary Coast" The Sandarac Tree, scientifically known as Tetraclinis articulata (syn. Callitris quadrivalvis), is a unique and captivating evergreen conifer native to the Mediterranean region, specifically along the Barbary Coast of North Africa. This stunning chromolithograph, a beautiful example of 19th-century botanical illustration, showcases the tree's intricate beauty and complex structure. Created by the renowned botanical artist Walther Muller, this illustration was published as part of Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants, edited by Gustav Pabst, in 1887. The meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors in this print allow us to appreciate the Sandarac Tree's distinctive features, such as its slender, cylindrical shape, its articulated branches, and the tiny, scale-like leaves that cover its surface. The Sandarac Tree is also known by various other names, including Barbary Thuja, Arar Tree, and Sandarac Cedar. Historically, it has been valued for its resin, which has been used in traditional medicine for various purposes, including as an antiseptic, expectorant, and anti-inflammatory agent. This chromolithograph is not only a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the late 19th century but also serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity of the Mediterranean region and the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world. The Sandarac Tree continues to captivate and inspire us with its unique beauty and intriguing history.
