EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration showcases Hypericum perforatum, commonly known as St. Johnswort, captured in its full flowering glory by the skilled hand of Victorian-era botanical artist Arthur Harry Church. The illustration, Plate 176 in Church's comprehensive work, is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. Hypericum perforatum is a flowering plant belonging to the Hypericaceae family, order Malpighiales, and class Eudicots. It is a popular herbaceous perennial native to Europe, Asia, and North America, recognized for its distinctive yellow flowers and aromatic leaves. The plant is adorned with small, five-petaled flowers, each surrounded by numerous, tiny, white glands, which give the leaves a perforated appearance when held up to the light. The St. Johnswort plant has a rich history, with folklore attributing its healing properties to St. John the Baptist. The plant was believed to bloom on his birthday, June 24th, and was used to treat various ailments, including wounds, burns, and even depression. Arthur Harry Church's illustration masterfully captures the intricacies of this beautiful and historically significant flowering plant. His meticulous attention to detail and use of vibrant colors bring the St. Johnswort to life, providing a captivating glimpse into the natural world of the late 19th century.
