EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 532 from the Fleming Indian Drawings Collection presents a captivating illustration of Ficus glomerata, commonly known as Doomar or Gular. This botanical masterpiece, created between 1795 and 1805, is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. The Ficus glomerata is a member of the Moraceae family, which is part of the larger order Rosales and the class Magnoliopsida, more commonly known as dicotyledons or eudicots. This flowering plant is an essential component of the Angiospermae division, which includes seed-bearing angiosperms. Ficus glomerata is a large, evergreen tree native to tropical regions of the Old World, particularly India and Southeast Asia. Its leaves, as depicted in this illustration, are simple, ovate, and have a serrated margin. The tree bears edible figs that grow in clusters, providing an important food source for both humans and wildlife. The figs are unique in their development, as they form within an enclosed receptacle, which is the swollen base of the inflorescence. This beautiful drawing is a testament to the meticulous work of Dr. John Fleming, a renowned botanist and surgeon of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Dr. Fleming's extensive travels and dedication to documenting the natural world resulted in an impressive collection of botanical drawings, including this exquisite representation of Ficus glomerata. The intricate details captured in this illustration provide valuable insights into the morphology and beauty of this fascinating fig species.
