EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration of Ficus scabra, a member of the Moraceae family and the Rosales order, is taken from the horticultural masterpiece "Plantarum rariorum Horti Csarei Schoenbrunnensis descriptiones et icones," published between 1797 and 1798. The work was produced under the auspices of Baron Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin, a renowned botanist and director of the Imperial Botanical Garden in Vienna. The illustration showcases the intricate details of Ficus scabra's leaves, which are characterized by their ovate shape, serrated margins, and prominent veins. The plant is also depicted bearing small, green fruits that hang in clusters. The fruit of Ficus scabra is not shown in great detail in this illustration, but it is known to be round and covered in tiny, raised dots. Ficus scabra is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. It is classified as a eudicot, a subgroup of dicotyledonous plants, which means it has two seed leaves and two cotyledons. The plant is further categorized as a rosid, a group of eudicotyledonous plants that includes rose-like species. This illustration is a testament to the meticulous work of the botanical artists and scientists of the 18th century, who dedicated themselves to documenting the natural world with great precision and beauty. The Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London is fortunate to hold this rare and valuable work, which continues to inspire and educate researchers and enthusiasts alike.
