EDITORS COMMENTS
Alnus glutinosa, commonly known as the common alder or European alder, is a magnificent flowering plant belonging to the Betulaceae family, order Fagales, and class Magnoliophyta. This illustration from the Natural History Museum Botany Library Plate Collection showcases the intricate details of this eudicot, angiosperm, and member of the Rosid clade. The tree depicted in the image is adorned with its characteristic catkins, which are the male and female reproductive structures of the alder. The cones, or strobili, are located at the tips of the catkins and are responsible for producing the seeds. The foliage, composed of simple, serrated leaves, can be seen in various stages of growth, adding to the vibrant and dynamic nature of the illustration. The common alder is native to Europe, northern Africa, and western Asia. It is an important component of riparian and wetland ecosystems, providing essential habitat for various organisms and contributing to soil stabilization. The tree is also known as the black alder due to the dark color of its heartwood. This stunning botanical illustration, produced by an accomplished artist, provides a detailed and accurate representation of Alnus glutinosa, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of this important plant species. The intricate details of the catkins, cones, and foliage are brought to life, offering a glimpse into the intricacies of the botanical world.
