EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration showcases Rosmarinus rigidus, commonly known as rosemary, a beloved herb in the Lamiaceae or Labiatae family. The illustration is taken from Icones Ad Floram Europae, a comprehensive work on European flora by the renowned botanical artist Alexis Jordan, published in 1867. The Natural History Museum in London houses this precious drawing in their Botany Library. Rosemary is an evergreen shrub native to the Mediterranean region, with aromatic, needle-like leaves and small, blue, pink, or white flowers. This plant is an angiosperm, a type of seed-producing plant, and a dicot, meaning it has two seed leaves or cotyledons. As a eudicot, it belongs to the magnoliophyta division, which includes flowering plants. The Rosmarinus genus falls under the order Lamiales, within the asterid clade, and is part of the larger group Angiospermae. The botanical name Rosmarinus rigidus reflects the plant's stiff and rigid leaves, which release a distinctive fragrance when crushed. Rosemary has been used for centuries for its culinary and medicinal properties. Its essential oil is rich in antioxidants and has been traditionally used to improve memory, reduce inflammation, and boost the immune system. This illustration serves as a testament to the beauty and significance of this versatile herb, which continues to captivate botanists, chefs, and gardeners alike.
