EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration is a beautiful representation of the May Duke Cherry tree, Prunus gondouinii, as depicted in the Pomona Franconica, a horticultural encyclopedia published between 1776 and 1801 by Johann Mayer of Wurzburg. The May Duke Cherry is a rare and exquisite variety of cherry tree, belonging to the family Rosaceae, order Rosales, class Magnoliopsida, and subclass Rosidae. It is a eudicot, angiosperm, and a member of the Fabaceae family, specifically the subfamily Amygdalidoideae and the genus Prunus. The illustration showcases the tree's delicate and intricately detailed flowers, which bloom in late spring, typically in May. The flowers are characterized by their pink to white petals, which surround a central cluster of stamens and a pistil. The fruit of the May Duke Cherry is a small, dark cherry, which matures in late summer. Johann Mayer's illustration captures the essence of the May Duke Cherry tree in meticulous detail, highlighting its graceful form and elegant flowers. The Pomona Franconica was a comprehensive work that documented a wide range of fruit-bearing plants, including many varieties of cherries, and was considered a significant contribution to the field of horticulture during the 19th century. The May Duke Cherry tree is a rare and valuable addition to any garden or orchard, and its beautiful flowers and succulent fruit continue to captivate horticulturists and plant enthusiasts alike. This illustration is a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the natural world and the importance of documenting and preserving it for future generations.
