EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Common Dandelion (Taraxacum campylodes (Taraxacum officinale)): A Vibrant Botanical Chromolithograph 2. Description: This chromolithograph showcases the Common Dandelion (Taraxacum campylodes, synonym Taraxacum officinale), a widely recognized plant species belonging to the Asteraceae family. The illustration, created by the skilled hand of Walther Müller, was published as part of Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants, edited by Gustav Pabst, in 1887 by Koehler, Germany. 3. Botanical Details: The Common Dandelion, also known as the European Dandelion or Lion's Tooth, is a perennial herb that is native to Europe and Asia. Its name, Taraxacum campylodes, comes from the Greek words "taraxos," meaning disorder or confusion, and "akos," meaning remedy. The synonym, Taraxacum officinale, refers to its widespread usage as an herbal remedy. The plant is characterized by its distinctive rosette of lobed leaves and a flower head composed of numerous yellow ray and disc flowers. 4. Medicinal Significance: The Common Dandelion has a rich history in herbal medicine, with various parts of the plant, including the leaves and roots, being used for medicinal purposes. The plant is known for its diuretic, bitter tonic, and digestive properties. It has been used traditionally to treat liver disorders, kidney diseases, and as a blood purifier. 5. Artistic and Historical Value: This exquisite chromolithograph not only serves as a testament to the intricacies of botanical illustration during the late 19th century but also highlights the importance of the Common Dandelion in both botany and herbal medicine. The vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail bring the plant to life, making it a valuable addition to any botanical or historical collection.
