EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite botanical illustration, titled "P. L. Souverain. S. primula," is taken from the second volume of "Flora Exotica," published by Johann Gottfried Schouw in 1720. The illustration, which appears on page 65 (66), showcases the stunning beauty of the Primula souverainia, a member of the Primulaceae family within the larger grouping of asterids, which are a type of eudicots. This particular primula is known for its vibrant pink, red, and yellow flowers, which bloom atop tall stems. The illustration, created by an unknown artist, provides a detailed and accurate depiction of the plant's various anatomical features. The magnified view of the flower reveals the intricacies of its petals, sepals, and stamens, while the inset drawing offers a closer look at the plant's leaves. The meticulous attention to detail is a testament to the high standards of botanical illustration during this period. The Primula souverainia is native to the eastern Himalayas and is now widely cultivated as an ornamental plant. This botanical illustration not only serves as a record of its historical significance but also as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom. The illustration's timeless quality and artistic merit continue to captivate viewers, making it a valuable addition to any collection of botanical art.
