EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the unique beauty of the Chilean Potato Tree, or Solanum crispum. Depicted in intricate detail is a branch laden with its distinctive crimped leaves, which earned this plant its alternate common name, crimped-leaved solanum. The Chilean Potato Tree is native to South America, specifically Chile and Argentina, and was first introduced to Europe in the early 19th century. The engraving is based on an illustration by the talented Miss Sarah Drake, skillfully rendered by S. Watts for the esteemed Botanical Register, published by Sydenham Edwards in Ridgeway, London, in 1832. The Botanical Register was a leading horticultural publication of its time, dedicated to the dissemination of accurate botanical knowledge and the promotion of plant cultivation. The Chilean Potato Tree is not related to the edible potato, despite its name. Instead, it is a member of the nightshade family, Solanaceae, and can grow up to 15 meters tall. Its striking white or pink flowers bloom in clusters and attract a variety of pollinators, contributing to the tree's natural pollination. This engraving is a testament to the artistry and scientific rigor of the botanical illustration of the 19th century. It invites us to appreciate the natural world in all its intricacy and beauty, while also serving as a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying the diverse plant life that surrounds us.
