EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts the Red Helleborine, Cephalanthera rubra, a rare and beautiful orchid endemic to Europe. The Red Helleborine is characterized by its vibrant red flowers, which bloom from late spring to early summer, and its unique symbiotic relationship with specific fungi in the soil. This botanical illustration is taken from Diederich von Schlechtendal's German Flora (Flora von Deutschland), published in Jena in 1871. Schlechtendal was a renowned German botanist and the founder of the Botanical Garden in Berlin. The meticulous detail and rich colors of this lithograph are a testament to the high-quality production values of the German Flora series. The Red Helleborine was a subject of great interest to botanists of the time due to its rarity and unique characteristics. This illustration provides a valuable record of the plant's appearance and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying rare and endangered species. The Red Helleborine continues to be a cherished subject of botanical study and conservation efforts today.
