EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a vibrant and diverse array of Gorgonia soft coral seafans, showcasing the intricate beauty and complexity of these underwater organisms. The image includes fifteen different species of seafans, each with unique characteristics and forms. The first and last Gorgonia in the illustration are Eunicella verrucosa, with their branching structures covered in small, raised bumps. The Swiftia species in the middle left displays long, sweeping branches adorned with small, fan-like appendages. Euplexaura parviclados, located in the middle right, exhibit thin, filamentous branches with small, spherical growths. The Primnoella chilensis, located near the bottom left, features tall, slender branches with small, star-shaped polyps. Convexella murrayi, in the bottom center, has a distinctive, convex shape with small, round polyps. Parastenella spinosa, located near the top right, displays spiny branches with flat, fan-shaped polyps. Junceella juncea, in the middle left, has thin, branching structures with small, cylindrical polyps. Calyptrophora japonica, in the top left, has large, cup-shaped polyps and long, sweeping branches. Acanthogorgia longiflora, located near the bottom right, has long, thin branches adorned with spiny projections. The remaining species, Primnoella australasiae, Narella allmani, Paramuricea spinosa, Ctenocella barbadensis, Anthomuricea argentea, and Calyptrophora wyvillei, each exhibit unique and intricate branching structures and polyp morphologies. This illustration, created by Ernst Haeckel and printed by Adolf Glitsch in 1904, provides a glimpse into the rich diversity of Gorgonia soft coral seafans and their intricate beauty. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting these delicate underwater ecosystems.
