EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 49: Theobroma cacao, or the Cocoa Pod, is depicted in this stunning illustration from "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous" by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn, published in 1858. The cocoa pod is the source of chocolate, a beloved treat enjoyed by people around the world. This illustration showcases the intricacies of the cocoa tree's (Theobroma cacao) reproductive structures. The cocoa tree is a flowering plant, belonging to the Malvaceae family, specifically the Malvales order, Eudicots, and Angiosperms. The plant is native to the tropical regions of the Americas and is now cultivated in various parts of the world. The cocoa pod is an elongated, oblong structure, typically growing directly on the trunk or large branches of the tree. Each pod contains 30-60 cocoa beans, which are surrounded by a sweet, white pulp. The beans are fermented, dried, and roasted to produce chocolate. Theobroma cacao is an angiosperm, meaning it produces seeds enclosed in an ovary, and is a dicot, characterized by having two seed leaves. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was a skilled botanical illustrator, and her work showcases the beauty and intricacy of the natural world. This illustration, in particular, provides a fascinating glimpse into the origins of one of the world's most beloved foods. The cocoa pod, with its vibrant red color and intricate details, stands out as a testament to the rich biodiversity of the plant kingdom.
