EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning botanical illustration, titled "Pompelmouse pompoleon," depicts the exquisite Citrus paradisi, commonly known as the grapefruit. Housed in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, this illustration is a captivating piece from Antoine Risso's "Histoire naturelle des Orangers," published between 1818 and 1820. The grapefruit, a beloved citrus fruit, is characterized by its large, round or oval shape and vibrant, yellow-orange rind. The name "pompelmouse pompoleon" is an older, less common designation for the grapefruit, possibly derived from its resemblance to the pomelo or shaddock, another large citrus fruit. As a bitter citrus, the grapefruit belongs to the Rutaceae family, specifically the genus Citrus. It is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. More specifically, it is a eudicot, or a dicotyledon, meaning it has two seed leaves, and is a member of the Rosid clade, which includes a wide range of flowering plants. The intricate details of the grapefruit's anatomy are beautifully rendered in this illustration. From the delicate, white flowers that blossom before the fruit develops, to the segmented, juicy arils that encapsulate each grapefruit seed, every aspect of this fruit's biology is meticulously captured. This illustration serves as a testament to the rich botanical knowledge of the 19th century, and offers a glimpse into the natural history of this delicious and iconic fruit. The vibrant colors and intricate details make it not only an invaluable resource for scientific study, but also a work of art that continues to captivate viewers today.
