EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured woodblock engraving showcases the enchanting Green-winged Orchid, Orchis morio, also known as Triorchis mas or the Female Green-winged Orchid. The illustration is taken from Adam Lonicer's renowned botanical work, Krauterbuch, or Herbal, published in Frankfurt in 1557. This particular print is believed to be from a 17th century pirate edition or atlas of illustrations only, featuring captions in various languages including Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and English. The Green-winged Orchid, a native of Europe, is renowned for its striking resemblance to a female bee, with its labellum resembling a bee's hindwings and its callus resembling a bee's abdomen. This intricate adaptation is a prime example of the orchid's pollination strategy, attracting male bees to facilitate cross-pollination. In the botanical world, the Green-winged Orchid holds significant importance, not only for its captivating beauty but also for its medicinal properties. The plant was used in traditional medicine for various ailments, including respiratory issues, gastrointestinal problems, and even as a diuretic.
