EDITORS COMMENTS
Vervain, Glandularia x maonettii, also known as Vervain, Verbena tenera maonetti, is a beautiful and intricately detailed plant species, as depicted in this handcoloured lithograph from the renowned horticultural publication "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. Published in Ghent, Belgium in 1856, this botanical illustration showcases the vibrant and delicate features of the Vervain plant in all its glory. The Vervain, a member of the Verbena family, is characterized by its slender, erect stems and small, tubular, two-lipped flowers that bloom in shades of blue, purple, and pink. The plant's leaves are opposite, lanceolate, and glandular-dotted, giving it a distinctive texture and aroma. This particular variety, Glandularia x maonettii, is a hybrid between Vervain and another species, likely created through careful horticultural cultivation. The name "maonettii" is believed to be in honor of a horticulturist or botanist named Maonetti. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this handcoloured lithograph serve to highlight the beauty and intricacy of the Vervain plant, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection or garden enthusiast's library. The publication from which this illustration comes, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," was a seminal work in its time, documenting and showcasing a wide range of plant species from Europe and beyond. Overall, this image of Vervain, Glandularia x maonettii, is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the botanical illustration tradition, and a reminder of the enduring beauty and fascination of the natural world.
