EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 1156 from the Fleming Collection of Indian Drawings, housed in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, presents a captivating illustration of Bryonia grandis, commonly known as the ivy gourd or wild cucumber. This exquisite botanical drawing, created in the 19th century, showcases the intricate details of this fascinating plant, a member of the Cucurbitaceae family and the subfamily Tropaeolaceae. Bryonia grandis is a vine that bears small, green, cucumber-like fruits, which are edible and have a unique, slightly bitter taste. The plant is native to tropical regions of the Old World, including Africa, Asia, and Australia. The illustration highlights the plant's delicate flowers, which are arranged in clusters and feature both male and female flowers on the same plant. The male flowers are shown in the foreground, with their five petals and prominent stamen, while the female flowers are depicted in the background, with their distinctive ovary and pistil. The Fleming Collection of Indian Drawings is a valuable resource for botanical research, documenting a diverse range of plant species native to India during the 19th century. This collection, which includes over 13,000 drawings, was assembled by Dr. John Fleming, a Scottish botanist who served as the first Superintendent of the Calcutta Botanic Garden from 1813 to 1822. The collection provides a unique record of the flora of India during this period and is an invaluable resource for botanical research. The ivy gourd, Bryonia grandis, is not only of botanical interest but also has cultural significance in various parts of the world. It is used in traditional medicine, particularly in Ayurvedic and Unani systems of medicine, and is also cultivated for its edible fruits. This beautiful illustration not only captures the botanical details of the plant but also serves as a testament to the rich cultural and scientific heritage of the past.
