EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite botanical illustration, Tab. 84 from Antoine Risso's Histoire naturelle des Orangers (1818-1820), showcases the Limonier ordinaire, also known as the Common or Amalfi Lemon (Citrus limon subsp. limonum, syn. Citrus limon var. amalfi or Limone ordinario). The illustration captures the beauty and intricacy of this flowering plant, which belongs to the Rutaceae family, specifically the Aurantaceae, and is an eudicot, angiosperm, and a member of the Eurosid clade. The Limonier ordinaire is a popular citrus species native to Southern Italy, particularly the Amalfi Coast, and is renowned for its aromatic and tangy fruit. The illustration reveals the plant's distinctive features, including its alternate, simple, and lobed leaves, which are covered in small, fine hairs. The plant also bears small, white, five-petaled flowers that bloom in clusters. The cross-section view of the fruit in the illustration reveals its characteristic shape, which is oblong and slightly asymmetrical, with a thin, bright yellow rind and juicy, acidic pulp. The Limonier ordinaire is a popular choice for making lemon juice, marmalade, and other culinary applications due to its high citric acid content. This illustration, drawn in the 19th century, is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of botanical illustrators during that era. Antoine Risso, a French naturalist, was a prominent figure in the field of botany and is known for his extensive work on the natural history of citrus plants. This illustration is a valuable addition to any botanical or historical collection and provides a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the citrus genus.
