EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 259 of A Monograph of the Trochilid, or Family of Hummingbirds, features a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Calliphlox amethystina x Chlorostilbon mellisugus, commonly known as the Amethyst Woodstar and the Green-vented Emerald, respectively. This exquisite image captures the moment of interaction between these two vibrant and intricately-designed birds, showcasing their unique anatomical features. The Amethyst Woodstar, with its iridescent amethyst-colored plumage, is depicted in mid-flight, its wings outstretched, revealing the intricate patterns and structures of its avian anatomy. Its long, curved bill, adapted for extracting nectar from flowers, is clearly visible. The Woodstar is a member of the Aves class, Order Apodiformes, Family Trochilidae, and Suborder Aspidobranchia. The Green-vented Emerald, on the other hand, is perched on a branch, its emerald-green body contrasting beautifully with the brown background. The male Chlorostilbon mellisugus is easily identified by its distinctive green vent, while the female's vent is brown. This species belongs to the same orders and families as the Amethyst Woodstar but is further classified under the genus Chlorostilbon. Both birds are depicted feeding on the nectar of angiosperms, or flowering plants, which are essential for their diet. The Angiospermae class, to which these plants belong, has played a significant role in the evolution of hummingbirds and their specialized feeding behaviors. This image, created in the 19th century by the renowned John Gould, offers a glimpse into the natural history of these enchanting birds and their symbiotic relationship with the angiosperms they rely on for sustenance. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the lithograph serve as a testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of the time.
