EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite botanical drawing, titled "Drawing 35 (Ewan 4)" from the Botanical and Zoological Drawings (1756-1788) by William Bartram, showcases three distinct plant species: Nyssa ogeche (left), Ogeechee lime (middle), and Crataegus sp. hawthorn (right). The drawing is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. William Bartram (1739-1823), an American naturalist, explorer, and botanist, created this illustration during the late 18th century. The drawing is part of a larger collection of Bartram's work, which documents the flora and fauna of the eastern United States. The Nyssa ogeche, also known as the water tupelo or swamp tupelo, is a tree belonging to the Cornaceae family, specifically the Cornales order, Eudicots, Angiosperms, Magnoliophyta, and Nyssaceae family. It is characterized by its broad, ovate leaves and small, greenish-yellow flowers. The Ogeechee lime, or Citrus medica var. ogeche, is a variety of the common lime and is a member of the Rutaceae family, specifically the Aurantiaceae order, Eudicots, Angiosperms, Magnoliophyta, and Citrus genus. It is recognized by its oblong, green fruit with a yellow rind and sour-sweet taste. The Crataegus sp. hawthorn, a member of the Rosaceae family, specifically the Rosales order, Eudicots, Angiosperms, Magnoliophyta, and Crataegaceae family, is depicted in flower. It is a shrub or small tree, with thorny stems and white or pink flowers. Bartram's meticulous attention to detail and accurate representation of these plant species make this drawing an invaluable contribution to botanical knowledge during the 18th century. The drawing also provides a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the eastern United States during this time period.
