EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolour painting depicts the karaka tree, Corynocarpus laevigatus, a native to New Zealand and other parts of Australasia. The artwork was created by the renowned English botanical artist John Frederick Miller, using an original outline drawing made by Sydney Parkinson during Captain James Cook's first voyage across the Pacific Ocean on board the HMS Endeavour. The voyage took place between 1768 and 1771, marking a significant milestone in European exploration and discovery of the South Pacific. The karaka tree is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in a fruit. It is a dicot, meaning it has two seed leaves or cotyledons, and is classified within the Eudicot clade, specifically the Rosid and Fabaceae families. The tree is also part of the Corynocarpaceae family and the Cucurbitales order. The painting captures the intricate details of the karaka tree's bark, leaves, and flowers. The tree's smooth, grey bark is contrasted by its bright green, glossy leaves, which are arranged in a palmate shape. The tree bears small, yellow flowers that grow in clusters, and the fruit is a fleshy drupe that turns red when ripe. The karaka tree holds cultural significance for the Maori people of New Zealand, who use its wood for carving and its fruit for food. The tree's name, "karaka," is derived from the Maori language and means "food of the gods." This beautiful watercolour painting is a testament to the rich botanical discoveries made during Captain Cook's voyage and the important role that art played in documenting and preserving the natural world. It remains an invaluable resource for botanical research and a stunning work of art in its own right.
