EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration is a beautiful representation of the whiteheart cherry flower, or Prunus avium, as depicted in Johann Mayer's Pomona Franconica, published between 1776 and 1801. Mayer, a renowned botanical artist from Wurzburg, Germany, meticulously captured the intricate details of this flowering plant, which is a member of the Rosaceae family, order Rosales, and class Magnoliophyta. The whiteheart cherry, also known as Bigarreau Blanc, is an important species within the Rosid subclass of eudicots, which is further classified as a fabid rosid. The illustration showcases the stunning white blossoms of the cherry tree, with their delicate petals arranged in a perfect symmetrical pattern. The tree, which bears edible fruits known as cherries, is an angiosperm, meaning it produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. The fruit of the whiteheart cherry is a stoneless variety, making it distinct from other cherry species. The whiteheart cherry is not to be confused with the medlar, which is also depicted in Pomona Franconica under the title Du fleur de l'Azerole. While both plants belong to the same family, they have distinct differences. The medlar, or Mespilus germanica, is a stoneless fruit that resembles a small, hard apple. This illustration is a testament to Mayer's exceptional talent as a botanical artist, capturing the essence of the whiteheart cherry flower in all its beauty and complexity. The intricate details and precise shading bring the flower to life, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection or scientific study.
