Plate 10 from Pomona Londinensis: An Illustration of The Raisin de Carmes, or The Muscat of Alexandria, a Vitis sp. Grape (1818) This stunning botanical illustration, Plate 10 from Pomona Londinensis, showcases The Raisin de Carmes, also known as The Muscat of Alexandria, a variety of the common grape vine, Vitis sp., in the Vitaceae family. The image, created in the early 19th century by renowned botanist and illustrator, William Hooker, provides a detailed and accurate representation of the grapevine's intricate structure and the luscious bunches of its deep-purple, edible fruits. The Raisin de Carmes is an ancient grape cultivar, with records tracing its origin back to the Mediterranean region, specifically Alexandria, Egypt. This grapevine is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. As a dicot, it is a member of the Eudicotyledons, a large group of angiosperms characterized by having two seed leaves, or cotyledons, upon germination. The grapevine depicted in this illustration is a woody perennial vine, which can grow up to several meters in length. The plant's tendrils are shown twining around a support, allowing the vine to climb and spread. The grape bunches, rich in clusters of juicy, purple-black fruits, hang heavily from the vine, ready to be harvested for food. The Raisin de Carmes is celebrated for its sweet, aromatic fruits, which are used primarily for raisin production. The grapes are harvested when they have reached full maturity and are then dried in the sun to produce the plump, golden-brown raisins that are renowned for their distinct, rich flavor. This illustration offers a captivating glimpse into the natural beauty and significance of this important and delicious plant in the botanical world.
