EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning botanical illustration depicts Hypericum perforatum, commonly known as St. John's Wort, a flowering plant in the Hypericaceae family. The illustration is part of the extensive Botany Library Plate Collection held at the Natural History Museum in London. Hypericum perforatum is an eudicot angiosperm, belonging to the order Malpighiales and the subclass Rosids. The plant is native to Europe, Asia, and parts of North America, and is now widely distributed throughout the world as an introduced species. St. John's Wort is easily recognizable by its distinctive yellow or orange flowers, which bloom in clusters from late spring to early autumn. The plant's common name derives from its traditional use in herbal medicine on St. John's Day, which falls on June 24th. The illustration provides a detailed and accurate record of the plant's morphology, highlighting its key features. The leaves are depicted as opposite, oval, and toothed, with small glands that give them a perforated appearance when held up to the light. The stems are shown as square in cross-section, a characteristic feature of the Hypericaceae family. The flowers are shown in various stages of development, from bud to fully open bloom, revealing their intricate structure. This illustration is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom and the importance of botanical documentation. It provides a valuable resource for researchers, educators, and anyone interested in the natural world. The Botany Library Plate Collection at the Natural History Museum in London is a treasure trove of such illustrations, offering insights into the rich biodiversity of our planet.
