EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Aphelandra x dubia: A Stunning Horticultural Hybrid Aphelandra x dubia, a captivating horticultural hybrid, is depicted in this exquisite chromolithograph print. This beautiful cross was created through the thoughtful combination of Aphelandra aurantiaca var. nitens and Aphelandra maculata, with the involvement of Stenandrium lindeni (S. sintenziifolium) as a pollen parent. The illustration, created by A. Goossens and expertly rendered as a chromolithograph by J. Goffart, was originally published in Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole, Brussels, 1894. Aphelandra x dubia is a testament to the artistry and innovation of early horticulturists. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns of its leaves are a mesmerizing blend of the parent species. Aphelandra aurantiaca var. nitens, also known as Aphelandra nitens, is recognized for its bright yellow-green leaves with red veins, while Aphelandra maculata boasts large, green leaves adorned with white spots. The addition of Stenandrium lindeni, a species with glossy, dark green leaves and prominent white veins, added an extra layer of complexity to the hybrid's appearance. This stunning chromolithograph not only serves as a visual representation of the Aphelandra x dubia hybrid but also as a historical record of the horticultural achievements of the late 19th century. The intricate details and vivid colors captured in the print are a testament to the skill and dedication of the artists and printers involved in its creation. In summary, the Aphelandra x dubia chromolithograph print is a captivating piece of horticultural history, showcasing the beauty and innovation of a remarkable hybrid created through the thoughtful combination of three distinct plant species.
