Smooth Tower Mustard (Turritis glabra): A Botanical Marvel from the Linnaean Era This exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engraving showcases the Smooth Tower Mustard (Turritis glabra), a botanical beauty from the Linnaean era. The illustration, meticulously created by Richard Duppa and published in his seminal work, 'The Classes and Orders of the Linnaean System of Botany' in 1816, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the plant kingdom. The Smooth Tower Mustard, a member of the Brassicaceae family, is distinguished by its tall, slender stem and compact, conical inflorescence. The plant's leaves are smooth, oblong, and serrated, with a glossy green hue. The flowers, arranged in a dense, cylindrical spike, exhibit an intricate structure, with four petals that are white at the base, gradually transitioning to a yellowish-green towards the tips. The botanical illustration, a testament to Duppa's artistic skill and botanical knowledge, provides a detailed and accurate record of this fascinating plant species. The Linnaean System of Botany, which was developed by Carl Linnaeus in the late 1700s, revolutionized the way plants were classified and named, paving the way for modern taxonomy. This image not only serves as a reminder of the rich history of botanical exploration but also highlights the intricacy and beauty of the natural world. The Smooth Tower Mustard, with its unique features, continues to captivate botanists, horticulturists, and nature enthusiasts alike, making it a timeless subject of study and appreciation.
