EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of the Yam or Cinnamon-leaved Dioscorea, scientifically known as Dioscorea cinnamonifolia. The illustration was created by the renowned botanical artist William Jackson Hooker and meticulously engraved by Swan for the esteemed Samuel Curtis Botanical Magazine in London, published in 1828. The image reveals the intricate details of this tropical tuberous plant, native to Brazil and the Rio de Janeiro region. The large, heart-shaped leaves, adorned with distinctive cinnamon-colored veins, are arranged in a rosette at the base of the plant. The delicate white flowers, with their three petals and three sepals, can be seen blooming at the top of the stem. The Yam or Cinnamon-leaved Dioscorea is an essential addition to any botanical collection, showcasing the intricacies and diversity of the plant kingdom.

The artistry and attention to detail in this engraving are truly remarkable, making it an exquisite addition to any botanical art or garden enthusiast's collection. The use of hand-coloring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, enhancing the natural beauty of the plant and transporting the viewer to the lush, exotic landscapes of Brazil.
