EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving depicts the Flowering Quillwort or Awl-leaf Lilaea, Lilaea subulata, a fascinating and edible plant native to the Americas. The intricate illustration was created in 1837 as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, or Dictionary of Natural Sciences, published in Florence, Italy. The illustration was drawn and directed by the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840), who is considered one of the greatest botanical artists of the 19th century. Turpin's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate rendering of the quillwort's leaves, which resemble the shape of a quill or awl, hence the common names of this plant. The quillwort is shown here in its flowering state, with small white flowers emerging from the axils of the leaves. The plant is often compared to various trees, such as sycamore, maple, plane tree, acer, and even fig and plane trees, but it is not related to any of them. Instead, it belongs to the family Droseraceae, which also includes sundews and other carnivorous plants. The quillwort was valued by indigenous peoples for its edible fruits and vegetative parts, which were used as food and medicine. Today, it is of interest to botanists and horticulturists for its unique morphology and intriguing ecology. This beautiful illustration not only showcases the plant's beauty but also preserves an important record of its historical significance in natural science.
