EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite botanical illustration showcases the foliage of Ilex aquifolium, commonly known as the common holly or English holly. Belonging to the Aquifoliaceae family, within the order Aquifoliales, this evergreen tree is an essential representative of the Angiospermae, a large group of flowering plants. As a member of the eudicots, holly is a dicotyledon, meaning it produces two seed leaves during germination. The holly tree is renowned for its distinctive spiky leaves, which are actually modified leaves called marginate leaves. These leaves, arranged in an alternate pattern, provide the tree with year-round foliage, making it an iconic symbol of the winter season. The tree's small, insignificant flowers bloom in late spring, giving way to bright red berries that ripen in autumn. These berries are a vital food source for various birds, contributing to the holly's ecological significance. The holly tree's botanical name, Ilex aquifolium, is derived from the Latin words 'ilex' meaning holly and 'aquifolium' meaning water-leaf. The tree's common name, holly, is believed to originate from the Old English word 'hollan' or 'holen,' meaning to conceal or cover. This name refers to the tree's ability to provide shelter for wildlife and its evergreen foliage, which offers year-round cover. This illustrative plate, part of the Natural History Museum Botany Library Plate Collection, offers a captivating glimpse into the intricate details of the holly tree's foliage. The meticulous attention to detail showcases the beauty and complexity of this iconic plant, making it an essential addition to any botanical collection.
