EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases the Achras zapota, also known as the chicle tree or sapodilla tree, as it gracefully blooms with its vibrant flowers. Hailing from the Sapotaceae family, this eudicotyledonous angiosperm is a significant member of the Magnoliophyta division, which includes flowering plants. The Achras zapota tree is a large, evergreen, and tropical tree, native to Central America and the Caribbean. Its flowers, depicted in the illustration, are small, white, and borne in panicles. The tree is renowned for its edible fruit, which is rich in nutrients and has a sweet, caramel-like flavor. The fruit, commonly known as sapodilla or chico, is an essential food source for many communities in its native regions. The Achras zapota tree is also noteworthy for its latex sap, which is extracted from the bark and used as chicle, a natural gum used for chewing gum and other industrial applications. The tree's sapodilla fruit and chicle have been an essential part of the diets and economies of various indigenous communities for centuries. This stunning illustration, held in the Botany Library Plate Collection at the Natural History Museum in London, offers a glimpse into the beauty and importance of the Achras zapota tree. Its intricate details reveal the delicate balance of nature and the intricacies of the plant kingdom, highlighting the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world.
