EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the vibrant yellow blooms of the Yellow Bugle or Ground-Pine, Ajuga chamaepitys (Ajuga chamaepytis). The image is taken from Dr. Willibald Artus's comprehensive botanical work, Handbook of all Medical-Pharmaceutical Plants, published in Jena, Germany, in 1876. The Yellow Bugle, also known as Chamaepitys or Chamaepytis, is a low-growing, mat-forming perennial herb native to Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean. Its small, oval, and toothed leaves form dense mats that resemble pine needles, giving it the common name Ground-Pine. However, it is not related to true pines but belongs to the Lamiaceae family. The plant's yellow flowers bloom in dense spikes, adding a burst of color to its otherwise green foliage. Historically, the Yellow Bugle was used in traditional medicine for various ailments, including respiratory issues, gastrointestinal problems, and as an antiseptic. The plant's essential oil was also used for perfumes and cosmetics. The intricate detail and rich colors in this engraving are a testament to the meticulous work of the skilled artisans who produced it. The botanical illustration provides an accurate representation of the plant's morphology, making it an invaluable resource for botanical and medical research during the late 19th century. Today, the Yellow Bugle remains an attractive groundcover in gardens and is appreciated for its medicinal and ornamental properties.
