EDITORS COMMENTS
Red Canella, or Mountain Cinnamon (Cinnamodendron corticosum), is a small, evergreen tree native to the Caribbean Islands, Central America, and South America. This handcoloured lithograph by Hanhart, after a botanical illustration by David Blair, was published in Robert Bentley and Henry Trimen's "Medicinal Plants" in 1880. The tree is characterized by its smooth, grey bark, which is peeled to reveal the bright red inner bark, from which the medicinal and culinary spice is derived. Red Canella, also known as Jamaica Cinnamon, has been used traditionally for medicinal purposes for centuries. The bark contains a high concentration of cinnamaldehyde, the compound responsible for the characteristic aroma and flavor of cinnamon. It has been used to treat various ailments, including gastrointestinal issues, respiratory problems, and inflammation. The tree grows in mountainous regions and is propagated through seed or cuttings. It is a popular plant in herbal medicine and apothecaries, where the bark is harvested sustainably to ensure the continued availability of this valuable resource. The tree is also an important source of income for rural communities in areas where it is grown. This beautiful botanical illustration captures the intricate details of the Red Canella tree, from the texture of its bark to the delicate veins on its leaves. The handcolouring adds depth and richness to the image, making it a stunning addition to any botanical collection or herbal study. The illustration serves as a reminder of the natural beauty and medicinal value of the plant world, and the importance of preserving these resources for future generations.
