EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Iris subbiflora: A 1920s Watercolour Discovery from Sfax, Tunisia" This exquisite watercolour painting, created by the skilled hand of Frank Howard Round in 1922, showcases the enchanting beauty of Iris subbiflora. The botanical masterpiece is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. Inscribed on the bottom right corner, "Iris subbiflora Sfax, Tunisia. Dr Trabat 1920," this painting offers a glimpse into the rich botanical history of the Iridaceae family. The Iris subbiflora, commonly known as the bearded iris, is a captivating flowering plant belonging to the monocotyledonous order of Angiosperms, specifically the subclass Magnoliophyta. This elegant bloom is a member of the Asparagales order and was first described by Pierre Edmond Boissier and Theodore Heckel in 1878. Frank Howard Round's watercolour painting presents the Iris subbiflora in all its splendour, with its distinctive bearded stigma and vibrant purple petals adorned with intricate veins. The lush green leaves, delicately rendered, frame the flower, adding to the overall harmony of the composition. Round's work, created during the 1920s, is a testament to the artist's dedication and passion for botanical illustration. His intricate and detailed drawing style captures the essence of the Iris subbiflora, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and intricacies even today. This painting serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world through art and science. The Iris subbiflora, with its rich history and captivating appearance, continues to inspire botanists, artists, and nature enthusiasts alike.
