This stunning handcolored copperplate engraving depicts a Schinus latifolia tree, also known as the broad-leaved duvaua or Duvaua latifolia. The tree is shown in all its glory, with its vibrant, glossy leaves unfurling in various stages of growth. The intricate details of the tree's bark, veins on the leaves, and tiny flowers are beautifully captured in this exquisite engraving. The illustration was created by the talented Miss Sarah Drake and engraved by S. Watts for Sydenham Edwards' The Botanical Register, published in London by Ridgway in 1833. The Botanical Register was a prestigious publication that showcased high-quality botanical illustrations and was widely regarded as one of the leading botanical journals of the time. Schinus latifolia is a native of South America, specifically Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. It is a small to medium-sized tree that can grow up to 15 meters tall. The tree is known for its attractive, glossy leaves, which are broad and ovate in shape, and its small, white or pink flowers that appear in clusters. The Schinus latifolia tree has a rich history and has been used for various purposes. The wood of the tree is hard and durable and has been used for making furniture, flooring, and tool handles. The leaves have been used for making tea and have medicinal properties. The tree is also an important source of food for various insects and birds. This beautiful handcolored copperplate engraving is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the 19th century.
