Two Green Botanical Ranuculaceae Prints
Perfectly Framed
Anemone
Ranunculus
Both Prints Measure
11 ” X 14 1/2 “
These beautiful Botanical prints were purchased about 20 years ago as a matching pair because of their unusual but attractive framing and the fact that we love Botanical prints and these were so well done. To us they had just the right amount of scientific and Botanical information yet all the color of the original Ranuculaceae Flower family.
We had found it difficult to grow these varieties in our garden so decided to bring them inside to enjoy them all year long.
As far as Botanical accuracy of these prints… they are right on and beautifully show all the detail of the root system, seeds and flowering aspects. If you are a Horticulturist an avid gardener or just love flowers, these prints will make a perfect addition to your home.
Ranunculaceae Family
Ranunculaceae is a family of flowering plants also known as the “buttercup family” or “crowfoot family”. The family name is derived from the genus Ranunculus. Members include Anemone (anemones), Ranunculus (buttercups), Aconitum (aconite), and Clematis. Ranuncula is Late Latin for “little frog,” the diminutive of rana.
According to the database of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the family consists of 51 to 88 genera, totalling about 2500 species. Numerically the most important genera are Ranunculus (600 species), Delphinium (365 species), Thalictrum (330 species), Clematis (325 species), and Aconitum (300 species).
Ranunculaceae can be found worldwide, but are most common in the temperate and cold areas of the northern hemisphere. The family contains many ornamental flowering plants common to the Himalaya, some of which are of medicinal value.
Ranunculaceae are mostly herbaceous plants, but with some woody climbers (such as Clematis) and subshrubs (e.g. Xanthorhiza).
Leaves are very often more or less palmately compound.
The flowers of the Ranunculaceae show what are considered in some systems of plant taxonomy to be typically primitive characteristics, although the classification scheme of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group considers this family to be among the most basal of the derived Eudicots clade. They are generally showy and medium to large in size in order to attract pollinators and are actinomorphic or radially symmetrical, although in some genera (e. g. Aconitum, Consolida) they are zygomorphic or bilaterally symmetrical. The perianth is made of one or, more commonly, two whorls, often not clearly differentiated into a true calyx and corolla, the sepals may be joined and the petals are often evolved into spurred nectaries or otherwise modified. The flowers have many free stamens arranged in spirals and usually many free pistils. Flowers are most often grouped in terminal racemes, panicles or cymes. |
