1. Title: Dalmatian Iris or Sweet Iris, Iris pallida Description: This chromolithograph showcases the enchanting beauty of the Dalmatian Iris, scientifically known as Iris pallida. The botanical illustration, created by Walther Müller, was published as part of Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants, edited by Gustav Pabst, in Germany in 1887. The Dalmatian Iris, also referred to as the Sweet Iris, is a stunning perennial herb native to Europe, particularly in the Mediterranean region. With its elegant, slender rhizomes, the plant produces tall, graceful stems adorned with fan-like clusters of delicate, violet-blue flowers. The flowers boast distinctive white or yellow signals, resembling the distinctive spots of a Dalmatian dog, hence the common name. The Dalmatian Iris holds a rich history in herbal medicine. The ancient Greeks and Romans used the plant for various medicinal purposes, including treating wounds and relieving pain. In traditional European medicine, the rhizomes were used to alleviate symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders, such as colic and dyspepsia. The intricate details of the Dalmatian Iris in this chromolithograph serve as a testament to the exquisite artistry and scientific precision of the time. The vibrant colors and lifelike representation of the plant's features invite us to appreciate the natural world and the healing properties it offers. This image is a valuable addition to any botanical collection, offering a glimpse into the rich history of medicinal plants and the art of botanical illustration.
