EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the stunning beauty of Nemcia pyramidalis, also known as the Pyramidal Gastrolobe or Gastrolobium pyramidale. Originating from Australia, this unique plant is a member of the Fabaceae family, commonly referred to as the pea family. The engraving, taken from John Lindley and Robert Sweet's Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery published in London in 1854 by G. Willis, captures the intricate details of the Pyramidal Gastrolobe's distinctive pyramid-shaped gastrolobe or seed pod. The Pyramidal Gastrolobe is an evergreen shrub that can grow up to 3 meters tall. Its small, tubular, bright yellow flowers bloom in clusters and attract various pollinators, contributing to the plant's reproductive success. The seed pods, as depicted in this engraving, are the most notable feature of the Pyramidal Gastrolobe. They are large, pyramid-shaped, and covered in small, rounded seed vesicles that give the pod a unique texture and appearance. This botanical illustration is a testament to the meticulous work of the skilled engravers and colorists of the time. The intricate details of the plant's structure and the vibrant colors used in the hand-coloring process bring the Pyramidal Gastrolobe to life, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and unique characteristics even today.
