17th Century Asteraceae Asterales Asterid Compositae Eudicot Flowering Marigold Passe Potted Histories Tagetes Angiospermae Dicot Dicotyledon Magnoliophyta
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century illustration depicts the vibrant Tagetes erecta L. marigold, also known as the African marigold. The marigold is a beloved member of the Asteraceae, or composite, family, and is native to Mexico and Central America. This illustration, created between 1589 and 1667, is attributed to Crispian van de Passe, a renowned Dutch botanical artist. The marigold is an angiosperm, a type of seed-bearing plant, and is classified as a dicot, or dicotyledon, due to its two seed leaves. As an eudicot, or euangiosperm, it belongs to the order Asterales, and more specifically, the asterid clade. The marigold is a popular flowering plant, known for its bright, golden-orange blossoms that bloom in dense, round heads. The flowers are often used for ornamental purposes, and their strong, sweet fragrance is a delight to the senses. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, marigolds have been used for medicinal and culinary purposes for centuries. This illustration is a testament to the intricate beauty of the natural world, and serves as a reminder of the rich botanical knowledge that existed during the 17th century. The meticulous attention to detail in the rendering of the marigold's petals, leaves, and stem is a reflection of the artist's skill and dedication to capturing the essence of this beloved flower. Whether used as a source of inspiration, a decorative element, or a reminder of the rich biodiversity of our planet, this illustration of the Tagetes erecta L. marigold continues to captivate and delight viewers over 400 years after it was created.
