EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Dual Delight in Botanical Beauty: Wall Hawkweed and Succory-leaved Hawkweed" 2. Subtitle: "A Glimpse into the Past: Handcolored Botanical Engraving from Culpeper's English Family Physician (1792)" 3. Intro: This handcolored botanical copperplate engraving, hailing from Joshua Hamilton's Culpeper's English Family Physician or Medical Herbal, published in London by W. Locke in 1792, presents a striking depiction of two closely related plants: Wall Hawkweed (Hieracium murorum) and Succory-leaved Hawkweed (Hieracium sucrosum). 4. Description of Wall Hawkweed: Wall Hawkweed, also known as Murrey Hawkbit or Mural Hawkbit, is a low-growing perennial plant with a rosette of oblong, toothed leaves and yellow, daisy-like flowers. The plant derives its common name from its preference for growing on walls and other rocky, disturbed sites. 5. Description of Succory-leaved Hawkweed: Succory-leaved Hawkweed, also known as Succory Hawkbit or Succory-leaved Stonecrop, is a close relative of Wall Hawkweed, distinguished by its succulent, fleshy leaves. These leaves store water, enabling the plant to thrive in dry, rocky habitats. The plant produces yellow, daisy-like flowers as well. 6. Historical Significance: This beautiful engraving is a testament to the rich history of botanical illustration and herbal medicine. Culpeper's English Family Physician was a popular herbal text that expanded upon the original work by Nicolas Culpeper, providing detailed descriptions and illustrations of a wide variety of medicinal plants. 7. Conclusion: This image of Wall Hawkweed and Succory-leaved Hawkweed offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the intricate details of these fascinating plants and the artistry of the botanical illustrators of the time. The handcolored copperplate engraving is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical record of these plants and their medicinal uses.
