EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Chinese keys or fingerroot, scientifically known as Boesenbergia rotunda (previously identified as Kaempferia pandurata). The intricately detailed illustration, produced by the skilled hand of George Cooke for Conrad Loddiges' Botanical Cabinet in Hackney, London, in 1821, highlights the unique morphology of this traditional Asian medicinal herb. The Chinese keys or fingerroot is a rhizomatous herb, native to China, India, and other parts of Southeast Asia. It is a member of the ginger family and is also known as lesser galangal or Thai ginger. The plant is characterized by its finger-like rhizomes, which are covered in small, key-shaped bumps, hence the common name 'Chinese keys.' The Chinese keys or fingerroot has been used in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for centuries due to its various therapeutic properties. It is believed to possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties. The rhizomes are commonly used to treat digestive issues, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, as well as respiratory conditions, menstrual cramps, and arthritis. The intricate beauty of this botanical illustration not only showcases the aesthetic appeal of the Chinese keys or fingerroot but also serves as a testament to the rich cultural and medicinal history of this remarkable herb.
