EDITORS COMMENTS
Ononis rotundifolia, also known as round-leaved restharrow, is a beautiful and intriguing plant depicted in this hand-colored etching from Pierre Joseph Buchoz's "Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses," published in Paris in 1776. The botanical illustration showcases the plant's unique features, including its round, beef-like leaves, which have earned it the common name "larrete boeuf" in French. The etching captures the delicate details of the plant's leaves, which are arranged in a rosette at the base of the stem, and its small, pinkish-purple flowers that bloom in clusters at the top. The hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing out the intricacies of the plant's veins and petals. Ononis rotundifolia is native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, and was also cultivated in Chinese gardens for its ornamental value. The plant belongs to the Fabaceae family, which includes legumes such as peas and beans. It is a hardy perennial that thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, making it a popular choice for rock gardens and alpine borders. This botanical illustration is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world for future generations. The intricate details captured in this hand-colored etching offer a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the world of plants that captivated the imagination of botanists and collectors over 200 years ago.
