EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engraving depicts Senecio halimifolius, also known as Poplar-leaved senecio or Senecio populifolius. The botanical illustration was originally created by Mills and later meticulously engraved by S. Nevitt for inclusion in Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's renowned publication, "The Botanist," published in London in 1836. Senecio halimifolius is a stunning sunflower family member, native to the Canary Islands. Its unique characteristics include poplar-like leaves, which are broad, ovate, and have serrated margins. The plant produces yellow daisy-like flowers, with a central disc surrounded by ray florets. The Victorian-era botanical illustration showcases the plant in its intricate detail, highlighting the veins on the leaves and the delicate structure of the flowers. The hand-colouring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy, bringing the Senecio halimifolius to life. This engraving is a testament to the meticulous work of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the time, who dedicated themselves to accurately documenting the natural world for scientific and artistic purposes. The publication of "The Botanist" during the 19th century was a significant contribution to the field of botany, providing a detailed record of a wide range of plant species for both scientific research and horticultural pursuits.
