Plate 105: Passiflora (Passifloraceae), the Passion Flower, from "The Chief Natural Orders of Plants," a botanical work illustrated and described by Elizabeth Twining, published in 1849. This exquisite illustration showcases the stunning beauty of the Passiflora, a native flowering plant of the Americas, specifically belonging to the Malpighiales order, Eudicots, Angiosperms, and Rosids. The Passiflora is characterized by its unique and intricately designed flowers, which are often pink or purple and feature a distinctive radial symmetry. The Passion Flower holds deep significance for indigenous peoples of the Americas, who have long admired its beauty and utilized various parts of the plant for medicinal and culinary purposes. The flower's name is derived from the Latin word "passio," meaning "suffering," which refers to the belief that the flower's intricate design symbolizes the Passion of Christ. Elizabeth Twining, the author and illustrator of this work, was a renowned botanical artist of the 19th century. Born in England in 1805, Twining dedicated her life to the study and documentation of plants. Her meticulous illustrations, like this one of the Passiflora, continue to be highly regarded for their accuracy and artistic merit. This illustration offers a glimpse into the rich natural history of the Passion Flower, showcasing its intricate details and the significance it held for both botanical science and indigenous cultures during the 19th century.
