EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 26 from Pomona Londinensis, an illustrious nineteenth century botanical work by renowned botanist William Hooker, presents a captivating illustration of the Malus sp. apple variety known as Hughess New Golden Pippin. This exquisite apple, depicted in golden hues, was a popular edible fruit during the 1800s. The illustration, held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, showcases the apple's intricate details, from its five-lobed calyx and ten stamens to the ripe, golden fruit adorned with a red blush. As a member of the Rosaceae family, this apple is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. More specifically, it is a eudicot, a subgroup of dicots characterized by the presence of two embryonic seed leaves, or cotyledons. The apple tree, a rosaceous plant, is a part of the Rosales order, which also includes roses, cherries, and peaches. The Hughess New Golden Pippin apple, with its rich golden color and red blush, was likely valued for its unique appearance and flavor. The illustration offers a glimpse into the botanical wonders of the 19th century, providing valuable insights into the natural world and the intricacies of the plant kingdom. William Hooker, a pioneering botanist of his time, meticulously documented this and countless other plant species, contributing significantly to the scientific understanding of the natural world. This beautiful illustration remains a testament to his dedication and the importance of botanical exploration during the 18th and 19th centuries.
