Germander, also known as Teucrium chamaedrys, is a fascinating plant that encompasses various species and characteristics. From the Germandree petit oak to the Wall germander, this herbaceous perennial has captured the attention of botanists and nature enthusiasts alike. Intricately depicted in handcoloured stipple copperplate engravings by Lambert Junior from drawings by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, Germander showcases its diverse forms. The delicate petals of Birds eye, Veronica chamaedrys, add a touch of vibrancy with their shades of yellow. Cut-leaved germander and common germander exhibit distinct leaf structures that make them easily identifiable. Meanwhile, Mountain germander stands tall with its majestic presence amidst rocky terrains. Water germander thrives near aquatic environments alongside arum plants like Arum maculatum. Pyrenean germander flourishes in the Pyrenees region while Germander meadowsweet adds elegance to any landscape it graces. The enchanting Germander speedwell displays petite blue flowers that captivate onlookers. Broad-leaf shrubby germanders bring a touch of Mediterranean charm with their silver-grey foliage. Great-flowered germanders boast magnificent blooms that are sure to catch anyone's eye. And once again we encounter Water ger-mander; this time Teucrium scordium takes center stage with its unique features. From ancient medicinal uses to aesthetic appeal, Ger-mander continues to fascinate botany enthusiasts worldwide.
