EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Frederici Guilielmi variety of Encephalartos cycadifolius, a rare and exotic cycad known for its distinctive foliage. Cycads are ancient plants that have survived for over 200 million years, making them living fossils and a fascinating link to the prehistoric world. Encephalartos cycadifolius, specifically, is native to South Africa and is characterized by its large, conical shape and thick, woody trunk. The Frederici Guilielmi variety, named after the German botanist Frederici Guilielmi, is particularly noteworthy for its unique foliage. The leaves are long, narrow, and glossy, with a striking blue-green hue. They radiate out from the center of the plant in a rosette formation, creating a stunning visual display. This beautiful illustration was created by the renowned Belgian botanical artist P. de Pannemaeker for Jean Linden's Horticole, a leading horticultural publication based in Brussels. The chromolithograph process used to create this print allowed for a high level of detail and vibrant colors, making it an accurate and captivating representation of the Encephalartos cycadifolius Frederici Guilielmi variety. Cycads have long been prized for their beauty and rarity, and this illustration serves as a testament to their enduring allure. The tropical and exotic nature of these plants continues to inspire awe and fascination, making them a popular choice for botanical gardens and private collections around the world.
