EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts Carony Bark, also known as Orayuri or Angostura Trifoliata (Galipea cusparia), a medicinal plant native to the Caribbean and Central America. The botanical illustration was created by David Blair and published in Robert Bentley and Henry Trim's "Medicinal Plants" in 1880. The intricate detail of the plant's leaves, flowers, and bark is beautifully rendered in this exquisite lithograph, which was produced by Hanhart. Carony Bark has a long history of traditional use in herbal medicine, particularly in the Caribbean, where it has been used to treat various ailments, including fever, dysentery, and rheumatism. The bark contains quassinoids, which have been shown to have antimicrobial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. The lithograph is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of the natural world and the importance of documenting and preserving the knowledge of medicinal plants. The use of handcolouring adds an additional layer of artistry and depth to the illustration, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection. The botanical name, Angostura Trifoliata, refers to the three-lobed leaves of the plant, while Galipea cusparia is the genus and species name, respectively. The plant is also known by various local names, including Carony Bark, Orayuri, and Guayacan. This beautiful and historically significant print is a reminder of the rich natural heritage that continues to inspire and inform modern medicine and scientific research.
