EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration showcases Beta vulgaris, commonly known as spinach beet, depicted in Johann Zorn's Icones Plantarum Medicinalium published in 1784. The Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London houses this precious piece of botanical history. Beta vulgaris is a herbaceous plant belonging to the Caryophyllales order, specifically the Amaranthaceae family. It is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. As a dicot, it is a eudicot, meaning it has two seed leaves or cotyledons. The plant in this illustration is likely a cultivated variety of Beta vulgaris, which is commonly known as spinach. However, there are several other related species, such as sea beet (Beta maritima), also known as sea spinach, and New Zealand spinach (Tetragonia tetragonioides). The spinach beet plant is a versatile and nutritious vegetable, rich in iron, calcium, and vitamins A and C. It has been cultivated for centuries for its edible leaves, which can be eaten raw or cooked. The plant's leaves have a distinctive triangular shape, making it easily distinguishable from other leafy greens. Johann Zorn's meticulous illustration captures the intricate details of the spinach beet plant, from its delicate flowers to its distinctive leaves. The illustration also highlights the plant's medicinal properties, as Icones Plantarum Medicinalium was intended to be a comprehensive record of medicinal plants. This illustration is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom, and a reminder of the important role that botanical illustrations have played in documenting and preserving plant knowledge throughout history.
