1. Title: Tormentil, Septfoil, or Erect Cinquefoil (Potentilla tormentilla) This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Tormentil, Septfoil, or Erect Cinquefoil plant (Potentilla tormentilla), a perennial herb native to Europe, Asia, and the northern parts of Africa. The botanical illustration was created by Walther Müller and published as part of Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants, edited by Gustav Pabst, in 1887 by Koehler, Germany. The Tormentil plant is characterized by its rosette of oblong, hairy leaves and bright yellow, five-petaled flowers, which bloom from June to September. The plant's rhizome is the primary part used in herbal medicine, with a long history of traditional use for treating various ailments, including digestive issues, diarrhea, and inflammation. The illustration showcases the intricate details of the Tormentil plant, from its veined leaves to the tiny hairs covering its stems and flowers. The vibrant colors and precise shading bring the plant to life, making it an essential addition to any botanical collection or herbal study. The Tormentil plant has been used in herbal medicine for centuries due to its astringent, anti-inflammatory, and antidiarrheal properties. The rhizome is typically prepared as a decoction or infusion and can be consumed as a tea or applied topically as a poultice. This beautiful and historically significant chromolithograph serves as a testament to the rich history of botanical illustration and the medicinal value of plants. It is an essential resource for botanists, herbalists, and anyone interested in the natural world and the healing properties of plants.
