This beautiful and intriguing botanical print showcases Senecio integrifolius, commonly known as Fleawort, one of the 3000 known species in the Senecio genus. The print dates back to circa 1820, making it an invaluable historical record of this fascinating plant. Senecio integrifolius is native to South Africa and is characterized by its distinctive, narrow, and smooth leaves, which are arranged in a rosette at the base of the plant. The plant produces small, yellow, daisy-like flowers in clusters atop long stems. The history of Senecio integrifolius is rich and intriguing. The plant was first described by the renowned botanist Carl Peter Thunberg in 1772, who named it after the Roman philosopher Seneca. Thunberg collected the plant during his travels in South Africa between 1772 and 1775. The plant was later illustrated and documented in botanical publications throughout the 19th century, including this beautiful print from circa 1820. Senecio integrifolius has long been of interest to botanists and naturalists for its unique characteristics and beautiful appearance. The plant was also used traditionally by the indigenous people of South Africa for medicinal purposes, particularly for treating wounds and skin irritations. Today, Senecio integrifolius remains a popular ornamental plant and is cultivated in gardens around the world for its attractive foliage and interesting flowers. This botanical print is an important historical record of Senecio integrifolius and provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the natural world during the early 19th century.
