EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning botanical illustration, number 86 from the Feilding Collection held in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, showcases the intricate details of Lawsonia inermis, commonly known as the henna plant. Originating in India and other parts of Asia, this flowering plant belongs to the Lythraceae family, order Myrtales, and class Eudicotyledons. The illustration beautifully depicts the various components of the plant, including its lobed, ovate leaves, and the small, fragrant, and showy flowers. The flowers are typically white or pink in color, with a distinctive five-lobed corolla and a central column of stamens. The plant is a dicot, meaning it has two seed leaves, and is a member of the Rosid clade, which includes a large number of flowering plants. The henna plant is known for its use in traditional body art practices, particularly in India and the Middle East, where the leaves are crushed to produce a dye used for temporary tattooing. The dye, which is derived from the plant's leaves, is applied to the skin and left to stain for several hours. The resulting designs can last for several weeks. This botanical illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the beauty and complexity of the henna plant, and serves as a reminder of the rich botanical heritage of India and other parts of Asia. The intricate details and accurate depiction of the plant make it a valuable addition to any botanical collection.
