EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the Mexican flamebush, Inga pulcherrima, a vibrant and captivating plant native to Mexico and Central America. The image is taken from the renowned horticultural publication "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l Europe" by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, published in Ghent, Belgium in 1845. The Mexican flamebush is a small to medium-sized tree or shrub, known for its bright red to orange-red bracts that surround its yellow flowers. These bracts give the plant its common name, as they resemble flames. The tree can grow up to 15 feet tall and is covered in glossy, dark green leaves. The Mexican flamebush is a popular ornamental plant in tropical and subtropical gardens around the world due to its eye-catching appearance and relatively easy cultivation. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and is drought-tolerant once established. The tree is also an important food source for various insects and birds. This beautiful lithograph captures the Mexican flamebush in all its glory, with intricate detail and vibrant colours. The artistry of the handcolouring enhances the natural beauty of the plant, making it a true masterpiece of botanical illustration. The publication from which this image is taken was one of the most comprehensive and accurate records of plants from Europe and the Americas at the time, making it an invaluable resource for botanical research and horticultural pursuits. This image is a testament to the beauty and importance of the natural world, and serves as a reminder of the rich botanical heritage that continues to inspire us today.
