EDITORS COMMENTS
or the Olive Sorbid, is depicted in this stunning 19th-century botanical illustration from Le Regne Vegetal, Plantes agricoles, Volume 16 (1870). This exquisite plate, number 20, showcases the beauty and intricacy of this olive tree (Olea europaea), a member of the Oleaceae family, which is native to the Mediterranean region. The tree is depicted in full bloom, its branches adorned with clusters of delicate, white flowers. Each flower boasts a five-lobed corolla and a four-lobed calyx, typical of angiosperms, or flowering plants. The tree's leaves, arranged oppositely on the stem, are evergreen and simple, with a slight serration along the edges. At the heart of this tree lies its significance as a source of food and oil. The small, round olive fruits are visible amongst the branches, each containing a single seed. The fruit is a drupe, a type of fruit that develops from a single ovary with a fleshy pericarp. This plant is classified as an eudicot, a type of dicotyledon, or a seed plant with two seed leaves. It is also part of the magnoliophyta division, which includes all flowering plants. More specifically, it belongs to the order Lamiales, the asterids, and the family Jasmineae. The Olive Sorbid is not only a botanical marvel but also a symbol of the rich biodiversity of the plant kingdom. This illustration serves as a testament to the beauty and complexity of nature, captured in intricate detail by skilled botanical artists of the past.
