EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Groundnut, Arachis hypogaea, a versatile and nutritious legume widely cultivated for its edible seeds, commonly known as peanuts. The intricately detailed illustration, taken from Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants, edited by Gustav Pabst, published in Germany in 1887, showcases the plant in all its botanical glory. The Groundnut plant is a herbaceous annual, capable of growing up to 1 meter tall. Its leaves are alternate, compound, and pinnate, with each leaflet shaped like a narrow, oblong-elliptic leaf. The flowers are small, tubular, and pink or purple, growing in clusters at the end of the stems. The most distinctive feature of the Groundnut plant is its unique reproductive structure. The flowers develop into pegs that grow downwards into the soil, where they form pods containing the valuable peanuts. These pods grow underground and are harvested by digging up the soil. The Groundnut is native to South America but is now grown in many parts of the world, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. It is an essential source of food and income for millions of people, providing not only a rich source of protein but also valuable oil used in cooking and various industries. This beautiful illustration not only serves as a testament to the botanical beauty of the Groundnut but also highlights its importance as a valuable food source and medicinal plant. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the plant to life, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art.
