EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 60 from Medicinal Plants by Robert Bentley and Henry Trimen, Volume 1, published in 1880, features an exquisite illustration of the Balsamodendron myrrah, also known as the Myrrh Gum Tree. This botanical masterpiece, held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, showcases the tree in all its glory. The Myrrh Gum Tree is a member of the Burseraceae family, which is part of the larger group of Angiosperms, Flowering Plants, and Eudicots. More specifically, it is classified as a Dicot, Magnoliophyta, Angiospermae, Eurosid, and Malvidae. The tree is indigenous to the Arabian Peninsula and East Africa. The illustration reveals the tree's distinctive features, including its slender, branching trunk, lanceolate leaves, and small, greenish-yellow flowers. The tree is renowned for producing a resinous substance called myrrh, which has been used for medicinal purposes since ancient times. Myrrh has been valued for its aromatic and antiseptic properties, and it has been used to treat various ailments, including wounds, infections, and inflammation. Robert Bentley (1843-1896) and Henry Trimen (1843-1896) were two prominent botanists of the 19th century. Bentley was a British botanist who specialized in the flora of South America, while Trimen was a South African botanist who made significant contributions to the study of African botany. Together, they produced a comprehensive work on medicinal plants, which was published in several volumes between 1873 and 1893. Their illustrations, like the one of the Myrrh Gum Tree, remain an invaluable resource for botanical research and appreciation today. The intricate detail and accuracy of the illustration are a testament to the skill and dedication of the botanical artists of the 19th century. It is a reminder of the rich history of botanical exploration and discovery that has shaped our understanding of the natural world.
