EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts the intricately beautiful Spurge Flax or Flax-leaved Daphne, Daphne gnidium. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by David Blair and later lithographed by Hanhart for inclusion in Robert Bentley and Henry Trimen's Medicinal Plants, published in London in 1880. The Spurge Flax is a small, evergreen shrub native to South Africa, characterized by its succulent, spurge-like leaves and clusters of small, fragrant, pink or white flowers. However, this plant is notorious for its toxic properties. The berries, which appear in the illustration, contain the potent toxins mezerein and daphnetoxin. These compounds have been used traditionally for medicinal purposes, such as treating fever and gastrointestinal issues, but their use requires extreme caution due to their potential for poisoning. The Spurge Flax has a rich history in herbal medicine. Its leaves and roots have been used to make a decoction for treating various ailments, including skin conditions, dysentery, and even snake bites. However, the plant's toxicity necessitates careful handling and preparation. The botanical illustration provides a detailed and accurate record of the plant's appearance, capturing the delicate details of its leaves, flowers, and berries. The handcolouring adds an additional layer of artistry, enhancing the beauty and intrigue of this fascinating and historically significant plant.
