EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the stunning Hop-flowered Barleria, Barleria lupulina, a captivating plant that once graced the pages of the esteemed Botanical Register published by Sydenham Edwards in Ridgeway, London, in 1832. The illustration was meticulously produced by the skilled hands of Sarah Drake and masterfully engraved by S. Watts. The Hop-flowered Barleria, also known as the Hop-headed Barleria, is a small shrub native to South America. Its unique beauty lies in its vibrant, hop-like inflorescences, which appear in clusters at the ends of the branches. Each flower boasts five petals that are white at the base, gradually transitioning to pink towards the tips, with a striking yellow center. The plant's leaves are lanceolate and a glossy green hue. The Hop-flowered Barleria was a popular addition to Victorian gardens due to its attractive appearance and relatively easy cultivation. The intricate detail in this engraving truly highlights the plant's allure and serves as a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the time. This beautiful piece is not only a delight for botanical enthusiasts but also a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of botanical illustration.
