EDITORS COMMENTS
White-stemmed Stachys, Stachys albicaulis, is a beautiful and intricately detailed plant species, as depicted in this stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving by S. Watts, after an original illustration by John Lindley, published in the Botanical Register in 1833. The image captures the delicate elegance of this rare and exotic plant, with its slender, white-stemmed spikes adorned with small, lavender-blue flowers. Originally discovered in the Mediterranean region, White-stemmed Stachys has since become a popular addition to many botanical gardens and private collections due to its unique appearance and attractive fragrance. The plant thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, and can grow up to 30 centimeters in height. The intricate details of the engraving showcase the intricacies of the White-stemmed Stachys' leaves, which are narrow and lanceolate in shape, with serrated edges. The delicate flowers are arranged in whorls along the stem, and each bloom features a distinctive, two-lipped corolla with a prominent, curved spur. This exquisite engraving is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the 19th century, who meticulously documented the natural world for future generations to appreciate and learn from. The intricate details of the White-stemmed Stachys' anatomy, captured in this beautiful engraving, continue to inspire awe and fascination among botanists, horticulturists, and nature lovers alike.
