EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 29 from The Illustrated Bouquet, a magnificent botanical publication by Edward George Henderson, showcases two exquisite flowering plants: Gazania splendens and Callicarpa purpurea. This image, held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, transports us to a world of natural beauty and wonder. Gazania splendens, commonly known as the Treasure Flower or the Gazania, is a member of the Asteraceae, or sunflower, family. Its vibrant orange blooms, with their intricate labiate (two-lipped) structure, radiate an inviting warmth. As a dicotyledon, or dicot, this eudicot flowering plant is a part of the Angiospermae, or flowering plants, and the Angiosperm class, Magnoliophyta. The Gazania is native to South Africa and is known for its hardiness and ability to thrive in various climates. Callicarpa purpurea, or Beauty Berry, is a striking member of the Lamiales, or mint order, and the Lamiaceae, or mint, family. This asterid, or flowering plant in the asterales order, is characterized by its elegant purple berries and lanceolate leaves. The Beauty Berry is native to North America and is a beloved addition to gardens for its attractive foliage and striking berries, which are edible and often used in jams and jellies. This stunning botanical print, created by Edward George Henderson, offers a glimpse into the rich diversity of the plant kingdom and serves as a testament to the beauty and intricacy of nature. The Illustrated Bouquet is an invaluable resource for botanical research and appreciation, and this particular plate is a standout example of Henderson's exceptional talent as an illustrator.
