Swines Succory, Arnoseris minima (Hyoseris minima): A Rare and Delicate Botanical Beauty This exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engraving showcases the intricate details of Swines Succory, also known as Arnoseris minima or Hyoseris minima. The illustration was meticulously drawn by the renowned botanical artist James Sowerby and published as part of James Smith's English Botany in London, 1793. Swines Succory is a diminutive plant, growing no more than a few centimeters tall. Its delicate white flowers bloom in clusters atop slender stems, contrasting beautifully against the dark green foliage. The plant's name, Swines Succory, is derived from its historical use as a fodder plant for swine, providing essential nutrients and minerals for their diet. The botanical illustration captures the plant's intricacies with remarkable precision, from the veining on its leaves to the delicate petals of its flowers. The hand-colouring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy, bringing the Swines Succory to life. This botanical masterpiece serves as a testament to the artistry and dedication of James Sowerby and James Smith, who documented and celebrated the natural world through their groundbreaking publications. The Swines Succory remains a rare and captivating botanical beauty, a reminder of the rich biodiversity that exists in the natural world.
