EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Tahitian Screwpine, Pandanus tectorius, also known as Veitch's Screw-pine or simply the Tahitian Pandanus. The image is an illustration by Desire Bois, taken from Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The Tahitian Screwpine is a tropical plant native to the Pacific Islands, and its distinctive appearance has made it a popular ornamental plant in gardens around the world. The plant is characterized by its tall, slender trunk and fan-like clusters of leaves, which are long and narrow with a distinctive midrib that resembles a screw. The leaves are a vibrant green color and can grow up to 3 feet long. The plant produces large, creamy-white inflorescences that resemble trumpets or lilies, and which can grow up to 3 feet in height. The Tahitian Screwpine is often compared to other exotic plants of the Victorian era, such as the Arum, Calla Lily, Zantedeschia Aethiopica, and Richardia Africana. These plants were highly prized for their exotic beauty and were often featured in botanical illustrations and horticultural publications of the time. Desire Bois' illustration captures the elegance and allure of the Tahitian Screwpine in exquisite detail, with the intricate veining of the leaves and the delicate petals of the inflorescences rendered in rich, vibrant colors. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of these plants, which continue to captivate gardeners and plant enthusiasts around the world.
