English: Wood engraving after a drawing of a tulip by Conrad Gesner, ca. 1561, with Gesner's own handwriting. This image depicts the tulip discovered by Gesner in Augsburg in April 1559 - the first reliably known tulip in the Christian world. Modern botanists place it into Tulipa suaveolens species. Русский: Тюльпан. Гравюра по рисунку Конрада Геснера, с собственноручными заметками Геснера, около 1561. Это тот самый экземпляр, который Геснер наблюдал в Аугсбурге в апреле 1559 года - первый достоверно известный тюльпан христианской Европы. По мнению современных ботаников, это растения вида Tulipa suaveolens (тюльпан Шренка). |
