EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 7 from "Neighgherry Birds and Miscellaneous" by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn, featuring an intricately detailed illustration of the Anacardium occidentale, commonly known as the cashew apple. This botanical drawing, entitled "cushoo apples, with nuts," showcases both the flower and the fruit of this important edible plant. The cashew apple is actually an accessory fruit that grows at the end of the cashew tree's main fruit, the cashew nut. The apple is a bright, vibrant orange-red color and is covered in small, raised bumps. The cashew flower, depicted in the upper left corner of the plate, is a beautiful, five-petaled bloom that is typically white or pink in color. Anacardium occidentale is a flowering plant that belongs to the Anacardiaceae family, which is part of the larger group of angiosperms, dicotyledons, or eudicots. This plant is also known as the cashew tree and is native to Brazil. The cashew apple is not only visually appealing but also rich in nutrients, including vitamin C and antioxidants. The cashew nut, which grows beneath the apple, is a popular ingredient in various cuisines around the world. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was a Scottish botanical artist who created this illustration in the late 19th century. Her work was published in "Neighgherry Birds and Miscellaneous," a natural history publication that showcased a variety of plants and animals. This illustration is a testament to Cockburn's exceptional talent and her dedication to accurately depicting the natural world.
