EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 21: Eriobotrya japonica, the Loquat Tree, from the illustrious botanical works of Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn (1829-1928), held at the Natural History Museum, London. This exquisite Victorian-era drawing, created in the 19th century, showcases the beautiful details of this edible Angiosperm, a member of the Rosaceae family, commonly known as the Loquat or Japanese Medlar. The Loquat tree, an evergreen shrub or small tree, is native to China and is now widely cultivated in subtropical regions around the world for its delicious fruit. The tree belongs to the Rosales order, Rosid clade, Eudicotyledons, Fabaceae subclass, and Angiospermae class. Its simple, alternate, ovate leaves, and white, five-petaled flowers, are depicted with remarkable precision in this stunning illustration. The Loquat fruit, resembling a small peach or plum, is round, orange, and has a sweet, tangy flavor. The fruit is rich in vitamins C and E, and dietary fiber, making it a popular and nutritious food source. The tree's wood is also valued for its durability and resistance to decay, making it a versatile plant with both culinary and practical applications. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was a renowned Scottish botanical artist, whose works were published in various botanical journals and books during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Her meticulous attention to detail and exceptional artistic skill are evident in this magnificent illustration of the Loquat tree, which remains an enduring testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
