EDITORS COMMENTS
Anacamptis morio subsp. longicornu, also known as the Long Flat-spurred Orchis or Orchis longicornu, is a beautiful and intricately designed orchid species. This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Weddell after a botanical illustration by Edward Dalton Smith, is a stunning representation of this rare and captivating plant. The Anacamptis morio subsp. longicornu is a subspecies of the Early Purple Orchid, native to Europe and parts of Asia. It is characterized by its long, flat spurs, which are much longer than those of the common Early Purple Orchid. These spurs are home to specialized pollinators, such as long-tongued bees and moths, which are attracted to the nectar hidden within. This botanical illustration, published in Robert Sweet's The British Flower Garden in 1828, showcases the delicate beauty of the Anacamptis morio subsp. longicornu. The intricate details of its leaves, stems, and flowers are expertly rendered, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection. The use of handcolouring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the plant to life and highlighting its unique features. The Anacamptis morio subsp. longicornu is a rare and elusive orchid, making it a prized find for botanical enthusiasts and collectors. This beautiful engraving serves as a testament to its beauty and intrigue, and is a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations to enjoy.
