EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Giant Arrowhead, Sagittaria montevidensis, a tropical aquatic plant native to South America. The intricately detailed illustration was created by renowned Belgian botanical artist Pieter de Pannemaeker for Jean Linden's Horticole Illustrations, published in Brussels in 1884. The Giant Arrowhead is characterized by its large, arrow-shaped leaves, which can grow up to one meter in length. These leaves are submerged in water and are covered in small, white hairs that help to anchor the plant to the river or lake bottom. The plant produces small, white flowers on tall spikes that emerge from the water. The Giant Arrowhead is an exotic and highly prized aquatic plant in horticulture, particularly in tropical gardens. Its large, distinctive leaves add visual interest and texture to water features, and it is relatively easy to cultivate in well-lit, nutrient-rich water. The plant's tropical origins make it a popular choice for creating a lush, exotic atmosphere in indoor aquariums and outdoor ponds. This beautiful chromolithograph is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of Pieter de Pannemaeker and Jean Linden's Horticole Illustrations. The vibrant colors and intricate shading bring the Giant Arrowhead to life, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of this fascinating plant.
