EDITORS COMMENTS
Syrian Speedwell, Veronica syriaca, is a beautiful and intricately detailed flowering plant depicted in this handcoloured lithograph from the renowned horticultural publication, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium, in 1857. The Syrian Speedwell is a low-growing, mat-forming perennial that is native to the Mediterranean region, including parts of Europe, Asia, and North Africa. The plant is characterized by its attractive, oval-shaped, toothed leaves, which are covered in soft, silvery hairs, giving them a velvety texture. The plant produces spikes of vibrant, blue-violet flowers with distinctive white centers, which bloom from late spring to early summer. The flowers are highly prized for their beauty and are often used in gardens and as cut flowers. This stunning botanical illustration showcases the intricate details of the Syrian Speedwell's leaves, flowers, and stems, providing a close-up view of the plant's unique features. The handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art. The publication, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," was known for its high-quality botanical illustrations and was widely used by botanists, horticulturists, and gardeners to identify and study various plant species. This particular lithograph is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the illustrators and publishers of the time.
