Tagetes (Marigold) is an illustration that captures the liveliness of this plant with its vibrant flowers and elegant leaves. Pierre-Joseph Redouté, the famous 18th-century botanical illustrator, demonstrates his talent for capturing the diversity and richness of flora through his engravings.
In the publication dated 1827 from which the plate is taken, the detail of this illustration is given as follows:
(Tagetes patula L.) This plant, from the Synantheraeaceae family, is native to Mexico and not to eastern India, as its common name of Indian Carnation might lead one to believe. It gives off a strong odor when crushed in the hands. It is grown as an ornamental plant in flowerbeds; it flowers there at the end of summer, and appears in a state of monstrosity or doubleness which gives rise to varieties that are quite pleasing to the eye.
