1. Title: Sea Island Cotton Plant (Gossypium barbadense) - A Botanical Marvel 2. Description: This chromolithograph depicts the Sea Island Cotton Plant (Gossypium barbadense), a magnificent specimen of the cotton family. The intricately detailed illustration showcases the plant in all its glory, with its lush green foliage, vibrant flowers, and the distinctive bolls laden with cotton fibers. 3. Background: This botanical illustration is an exquisite example from Hermann Adolph Koehler's "Medicinal Plants," edited by Gustav Pabst, published in Germany in 1887. The meticulous process of chromolithography was used to create this stunning visual representation of the Sea Island Cotton Plant. 4. Botanical Information: Gossypium barbadense, commonly known as Sea Island Cotton, is a species of cotton that originated in the Caribbean and the Americas. It is characterized by its long, fine fibers, which are highly prized for their superior quality and softness. The plant grows as a shrub or small tree, with branches that can reach up to 10 feet in height. The flowers are typically white or pink, and the bolls, which contain the cotton fibers, are oval in shape and can grow up to 3 inches long. 5. Cultural Significance: Sea Island Cotton has held great cultural and economic significance throughout history. It was once considered the finest cotton in the world, and was highly valued for its use in the production of high-quality textiles. Today, it is still grown in limited quantities for its unique fibers, which are used in the production of luxury textiles and other specialty applications. 6. Appreciation: This beautiful chromolithograph serves as a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the natural world. The Sea Island Cotton Plant, with its elegant form and exquisite fibers, is a true botanical marvel that continues to captivate and inspire us.
