EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 9 from Le Regne Vegetal, Vol 12, Hort. Atlas, 1870, held in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum, London, showcases an intriguing arrangement of five edible plants: Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus), Salad Burnet (Sanguisorba officinalis), Garden Leek (Allium porrum), Sorrel (Rumex acetosa), and a New Zealand Spinach representative from the Oxalidaceae family. The first plant, Tarragon, is a perennial herb from the Asteraceae family, characterized by its slender, fern-like foliage and distinctive anise-like flavor. It is a monocotyledon, belonging to the order Apocynales and the family Asteraceae. Salad Burnet, the second plant, is a herbaceous perennial from the Rosaceae family, known for its rosette of round, lobed leaves and pink or white flowers. It is a dicot, belonging to the order Rosales and the family Rosaceae. The third plant, Garden Leek, is a bulbous perennial herb from the Allium genus, Allium porrum, within the Amaryllidaceae family. It is commonly used as a vegetable and is a monocot, belonging to the order Asparagales and the family Amaryllidaceae. Sorrel, the fourth plant, is a perennial herb from the Oxalidaceae family, characterized by its sour, tangy taste and large, green, heart-shaped leaves. It is a dicot, belonging to the order Oxalidales and the family Oxalidaceae. The fifth plant, a New Zealand Spinach representative, is a herbaceous perennial from the Oxalidaceae family, known for its succulent leaves and high nutritional value. It is a dicot, belonging to the order Oxalidales and the family Oxalidaceae. This exquisite illustration, entitled 'Plantes potageres de divers usages,' offers a glimpse into the rich diversity of edible plants, showcasing their botanical beauty and horticultural significance.
