EDITORS COMMENTS
Apoballis acuminatissima, also known as Schismatoglottis lavallei var. lansbergeana, is a stunning tropical foliage plant that has captivated botanists and horticulturists for over a century. This exquisite plant is depicted in this beautiful chromolithograph by P. de Pannemaeker, which was published in Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole in Brussels in 1882. The Apoballis acuminatissima is native to the humid forests of Southeast Asia and is characterized by its large, glossy, and deeply lobed leaves. The leaves are a vibrant green color with distinct white veins, giving the plant an elegant and exotic appearance. The plant's name, Apoballis, comes from the Greek words "apo," meaning away, and "ballis," meaning a ball, referring to the shape of the plant's inflorescence. This chromolithograph is a testament to the intricate detail and beauty of the Apoballis acuminatissima. The printing process used at the time, known as chromolithography, involved using multiple lithographic stones, each coated with a different color, to create a highly detailed and vibrant image. The result is a stunning representation of the plant's foliage, which is sure to transport viewers to the lush and tropical forests of its native habitat. The Apoballis acuminatissima is not only a visual delight but also an important plant in the study of botany. Its unique features and distinctive appearance have made it a subject of scientific interest for many years, and it continues to be a popular choice for collectors and plant enthusiasts around the world.
