EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning botanical illustration showcases the Artocarpus incisa, commonly known as the breadfruit tree. Belonging to the Moraceae family, this eudicotyledonous, angiosperm tree is a member of the Rosales order and the subclass Rosid. The breadfruit tree is an essential food source for many communities in tropical regions, particularly in the Pacific Islands. The tree is depicted here in its full glory, with its large, glossy green leaves and distinctive, juicy fruit. The breadfruit tree is a flowering plant, with unisexual flowers that grow in large inflorescences. The fruit, which resembles a large, green apple, is encased in a hard outer shell that must be cracked open to reveal the edible, starchy interior. The breadfruit tree is native to the Indo-Malayan region and has been cultivated for thousands of years. It is a versatile plant, with the fruit being used in various dishes, from roasted and boiled to fried and baked. The leaves and young shoots are also edible and can be cooked and consumed as a vegetable. This illustration is part of the Botany Library Plate Collection held at the Natural History Museum in London, showcasing the intricate details of the breadfruit tree's anatomy. The illustration is a testament to the beauty and complexity of the natural world and the importance of documenting it for future generations.
