EDITORS COMMENTS
Orange Mullein, Verbascum phlomoides, is a striking and vibrant plant species, as depicted in this beautiful chromolithograph from Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants, edited by Gustav Pabst, published in Germany in 1887. The illustration, created by the skilled hand of Walther Müller, showcases the plant's bright orange coloration, which sets it apart from its more commonly known green cousin, Common Mullein, Verbascum thapsus. Orange Mullein is a herbaceous perennial that grows in the Mediterranean region, particularly in rocky and sunny areas. Its tall, sturdy stem can reach up to 1 meter in height, and is covered in soft, velvety hairs. The plant's most notable feature, however, is its vibrant orange-colored flowers, which bloom in dense, spikelike inflorescences. Historically, Orange Mullein was used in traditional herbal medicine for a variety of ailments, including respiratory issues, skin conditions, and inflammation. The plant contains mucilage, which can soothe irritated tissues and provide relief from coughs and sore throats. Additionally, the plant's anti-inflammatory properties have been used to treat conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. This stunning chromolithograph not only serves as a testament to the beauty of Orange Mullein, but also highlights its historical significance in the realm of herbal medicine. It is a reminder of the rich natural world around us and the many healing properties that can be found within it.
