EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolour painting depicts the Orange Mangrove Tree, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, as illustrated by Fred Polydore Nodder during Captain James Cook's first voyage across the Pacific Ocean between 1768 and 1771. The original outline drawing was made by Sydney Parkinson. The Orange Mangrove is an iconic Angiosperm, a type of flowering plant, and is a member of the Rhizophoraceae family, which is part of the larger order Malpighiales. This eudicot, or dicotyledon, is also known as a mangrove, a type of tree that thrives in saline or brackish water. The tree is characterized by its distinctive orange-colored prop roots, which help it to anchor itself in the muddy and unstable mangrove swamp environment. The tree's flowers are small, pink, and produce fruit that is an important food source for various wildlife. This beautiful illustration showcases the intricate details of the Orange Mangrove Tree's flowers and foliage. The painting is a testament to the natural beauty of the mangrove forest ecosystem and the skill of the 18th-century botanical illustrators who documented these discoveries. The illustration is a valuable historical record of the natural world and a reminder of the importance of preserving these unique and vital ecosystems for future generations.
