EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Silver Spot Ginger, Kaempferia elegans, also known as Kaempferia atrovirens. The image was created by the renowned Belgian botanical illustrator Pieter de Pannemaeker for Jean Linden's Horticole Illustration, published in Brussels in 1885. The Silver Spot Ginger is a tropical plant native to Southeast Asia, specifically Indonesia and the Philippines. Its unique beauty is showcased in this intricately detailed lithograph, with its silver-spotted leaves and vibrant, tubular flowers. The plant belongs to the family Zingiberaceae and is closely related to other ginger species. Kaempferia elegans is a popular ornamental plant in subtropical and tropical gardens, and its rhizomes are used in traditional medicine for various health benefits. This exquisite botanical illustration not only showcases the aesthetic appeal of the Silver Spot Ginger but also highlights the importance of documenting the natural world during the height of the botanical exploration era.
