EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite botanical illustration showcases the Chilean strawberry, Fragaria chiloensis, a native plant of South America belonging to the Rosaceae family and the Rosales order. Dated between 1768 and 1795, this illustration is part of the extensive botanical folio collection of John Edwards, a renowned botanist and artist of the 18th century. The Chilean strawberry is depicted in full bloom, with its delicate white flowers unfurling to reveal their intricate structure. The long, slender runners, or stolons, that characterize this plant are also illustrated, highlighting its unique growth habit. The fruit, a small, red, edible drupe, is shown in its ripe state, ready to be savored for its sweet and tangy flavor. As an angiosperm, dicot, and eudicot, Fragaria chiloensis is a flowering plant that contributes to the Magnoliophyta division of the plant kingdom. This plant is also a member of the Rosaceae family, which includes a diverse range of fruit-bearing plants such as apples, pears, cherries, and roses. The Fabidae order, to which the Fabaceae family belongs, is a large and diverse order of flowering plants that includes legumes and other important food crops. The Chilean strawberry, however, is not a legume but rather a member of the Rosaceae family. This beautiful illustration provides a glimpse into the rich botanical knowledge of the 18th century, showcasing the intricate details of a plant that continues to be an important source of food and natural beauty today.
