EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting, created by Mary Lawrance in 1794, showcases the enchanting beauty of Tritonia crocata, also known as the flame freesia. Lawrance, an accomplished botanical artist of her time, meticulously captured the intricate details and vibrant colors of this angiosperm, a type of flowering plant belonging to the monocotyledon class and the family Iridaceae. The painting, titled "Tritonia crocata," is a testament to Lawrance's extraordinary artistic skills. She masterfully depicted the delicate petals of the flame freesia, which are adorned with striking orange and red hues, resembling flames. The plant's stem, leaves, and other structural features are also rendered with remarkable precision and detail. Mary Lawrance's watercolor on vellum painting is an essential addition to the rich history of botanical art. Her work not only showcases the natural beauty of the flame freesia but also serves as an important record of plant species during the late 18th century. The painting is held in the esteemed collections of the Library and Archives and is a valuable resource for botanical research and education. The flame freesia, native to South Africa, is a member of the Asparagales order and the Magnoliophyta class. It is a herbaceous perennial that produces beautiful, fragrant flowers. The plant's scientific name, Tritonia crocata, refers to its triton-like shape and the crocus-like coloration of its flowers. This stunning watercolor painting by Mary Lawrance not only showcases the allure of the flame freesia but also highlights the artistic prowess and scientific significance of women in botanical illustration during the late 18th century.
