EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the fascinating Zaminkand, or Amorphophallus bulbifer, also known as Arum bulbiferum. The image was published in the esteemed Samuel Curtis Botanical Magazine in London, in 1819. The Zaminkand is a unique and intriguing plant, native to the Western Ghats of India and Sri Lanka. It is renowned for its distinctive and large inflorescence, which emerges from a rhizome and can grow up to 3 meters tall. The engraving captures the intricate details of the Zaminkand's inflorescence, which is composed of a spadix surrounded by a large, hooded, and pungent spathe. The spathe, which is often described as resembling a large, stinky shoe, serves to attract pollinators, primarily flies and beetles, through its foul odor. The spadix, which is covered in small, male and female flowers, is responsible for producing the plant's seeds. The Zaminkand is a rare and beautiful addition to any botanical collection, and this engraving is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators of the time. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the plant to life, allowing us to appreciate its unique beauty and intricacies. The engraving also serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations. This image is a valuable historical record of the Zaminkand, and its inclusion in the Samuel Curtis Botanical Magazine speaks to the importance of botanical illustration as a means of scientific discovery and artistic expression. The engraving is a testament to the skill and artistry of the botanical illustrators of the time, and a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
