EDITORS COMMENTS
Boenninghausenia albiflora, also known as Ruta albiflora, is a beautiful and intricately detailed plant species, as depicted in this exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving by George Cooke from Conrad Loddiges Botanical Cabinet in Hackney, London, published in 1828. The illustration showcases the plant in all its glory, with its delicate white flowers and lanceolate leaves arranged in opposite pairs. The Boenninghausenia albiflora is a shrub native to South America, specifically Brazil and Argentina. It is named after the German physician and botanist, Johann Christian Friedrich Höhne, who first described the species in 1818. The plant is commonly known as White Rue due to its white flowers and its resemblance to the European Rue plant (Ruta graveolens). This engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time. The intricate veining on the leaves, the delicate petals of the flowers, and the precise shading and coloring all contribute to a stunning visual representation of the Boenninghausenia albiflora. The use of hand-coloring further enhances the image, adding depth and vibrancy to the illustration. Conrad Loddiges Botanical Cabinet was a renowned botanical publishing house in Hackney, London, known for its high-quality botanical illustrations. George Cooke was a skilled engraver who worked for Loddiges, producing many beautiful and intricate copperplate engravings for their publications. This illustration of the Boenninghausenia albiflora is a prime example of the exceptional work produced by Cooke and Loddiges during this period.
