EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite botanical illustration depicts Coffea arabica, the plant species that is the primary source of commercially grown coffee beans worldwide. The plate, LV11 from Les Plantes Ornementales, is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. The illustration provides a detailed and accurate representation of the coffee plant, a member of the Rubiaceae family, which is an order of flowering plants that also includes gardenias and madder. Coffea arabica is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. It is a dicot, meaning it has two seed leaves or cotyledons, and is classified as an eudicot, which is a subgroup of dicots characterized by certain features in their leaves and flowers. The coffee plant is a shrub or small tree, growing up to 5 meters tall, with glossy, green leaves that are simple, entire, and elliptical in shape. The plant bears white, fragrant flowers that bloom in clusters, and the fruit is a drupe, which contains the coffee beans. The coffee plant is native to Ethiopia and South Sudan in the African region known as the "Coffee Belt." It is now cultivated in tropical regions around the world, and its cultivation and consumption have become an integral part of global culture. The illustration captures the intricate details of the coffee plant, providing a window into the natural beauty and complexity of this important plant species.
