EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration depicts Oxalis filifolia, a rare and beautiful plant belonging to the Oxalidaceae family, as it was described and depicted in the "Plantarum rariorum Horti Csarei Schoenbrunnensis descriptiones et icones," published between 1797 and 1798. The work was produced under the direction of Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin, a renowned botanist and Baron of the Holy Roman Empire. The illustration showcases the delicate pink flowers of Oxalis filifolia, which are arranged in a raceme inflorescence. The plant is a member of the eudicots, angiosperms, and magnoliophytes, and is classified within the rosid clade of the eurosids and the fabidae subclade of the rosids. Oxalis filifolia is also known as the thread-leaved wood sorrel, due to its slender, filiform leaves. The illustration provides a detailed and accurate record of the plant's morphology, capturing the intricacies of its flowers, leaves, and stems. The botanical drawing style of the time, with its meticulous attention to detail and precise labeling, reflects the scientific rigor and curiosity that characterized the Age of Enlightenment. The illustration is held in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, a testament to the rich history of botanical research and documentation. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, students, and anyone interested in the natural world, offering a glimpse into the past and the wonders of the plant kingdom.
