EDITORS COMMENTS
Sesamum indicum, commonly known as sesame, is a flowering plant in the family Pedaliaceae, order Lamiales, and the genus Sesamum. This beautiful illustration of Sesamum indicum is a testament to the intricacy and beauty of the natural world, showcasing the various parts of this important angiosperm. The plant is native to India and Africa, and has been cultivated for over 3,000 years for its oil-rich seeds, which are used for food and industrial purposes. Sesame is an eudicot, a type of dicotyledon, and is characterized by its two seed leaves, or cotyledons, which are visible in the illustration. The sesame plant is a long-lived herb that can grow up to 1.5 meters tall. Its leaves are simple, green, and elongated, with a serrated margin. The plant produces clusters of flowers, each with a distinctive five-lobed corolla and a long, curved style. The seeds, which are encased in a protective capsule, are small, round, and white or brown in color. The botanical illustration of Sesamum indicum is a stunning example of the art and science of botanical illustration. It provides a detailed and accurate record of the plant's morphology, making it an invaluable resource for botanical research and education. The illustration also highlights the plant's aesthetic qualities, showcasing its delicate petals, intricate veining, and vibrant green leaves. This illustration of Sesamum indicum is held in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, and is available for licensing through Mary Evans Prints Online. It is a reminder of the rich biodiversity of the plant kingdom and the importance of preserving and documenting it for future generations.
