Plate 166: Ananas sp. Pineapple (Ananas comosus, Ananas, Bromeliaceae, Poales, Monocotyledon, Angiospermae, Magnoliophyta) This exquisite nineteenth-century illustration, Plate 166 from The Chief Natural Orders of Plants, showcases the alluring beauty of the Ananas pineapple (Ananas comosus). Drawn and described by the renowned botanical artist Elizabeth Twining (1805-1889), this work of art highlights the intricate details of this fascinating bromeliad. Elizabeth Twining, a talented artist and botanist, meticulously captured the essence of the pineapple's flower, revealing its complex structure and delicate petals. The drawing also showcases the elongated inflorescence, which bears the edible fruit, and the distinctive rosette of leaves. The Ananas pineapple is a monocotyledon, belonging to the commelinid family, Bromeliaceae. It is an angiosperm, meaning it produces seeds enclosed within an ovary. The pineapple is a member of the Poales order, which includes grasses and grass-like plants. The Victorian-era illustration conveys the rich natural history of this important food source, which has been cultivated for thousands of years. The pineapple's sweet, juicy fruit is a beloved delicacy around the world, and its distinctive appearance and unique growth habits have long fascinated botanists and collectors. This stunning illustration serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, as well as the remarkable artistic talent of Elizabeth Twining. It invites us to appreciate the intricacies of the natural world and to marvel at the wonders of the plant kingdom.
