EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration showcases the enchanting beauty of Bletia verecunda, a tropical orchid belonging to the Orchidaceae family, as depicted in the Delineation of Exotic Plants Cultivated in the Royal Garden at Kew, published in 1796. The illustration is the work of renowned botanical artist Franz Andreas Bauer, who meticulously captured the intricate details of this stunning flowering plant. Bletia verecunda, also known as the Pink Bletia or the Pink Lady's Slipper Orchid, is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. As a monocotyledon, it belongs to the monocot class, characterized by having a single cotyledon or seed leaf. This orchid is native to Central and South America, specifically in the Andes region, and is a member of the Asparagales order. The illustration reveals the delicate pink flowers of Bletia verecunda, which resemble lady's slippers with their distinctive pouch-like labellum. The plant's leaves are long and narrow, and its rhizome, or underground stem, sends out new shoots that produce multiple inflorescences, each bearing several flowers. The Delineation of Exotic Plants Cultivated in the Royal Garden at Kew was a significant botanical work of the 18th century, documenting a wide range of exotic plants cultivated at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. This illustration of Bletia verecunda is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom, as well as the skill and dedication of botanical artists and collectors of the time.
