EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 11 from Voyage aux Regions Equinoriales (1806) Pt V1, Botanique, Sect 2, by Friedrich Heinrich Alexander von Humboldt and Aime Jacques Alexandre Bonpland, features an exquisite illustration of Rhexia grandiflora, a stunning flowering plant from the Melastomataceae family, which is part of the larger order Myrtales and the eudicot clade Rosid. This illustration, drawn in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, showcases the plant in all its glory, with its large, pink, magnified flowers adorned with intricate veining and a distinctive, elongated calyx. The plant, also known as the "Grandiflora Red-stem Rhexia," is native to the tropical regions of South America and belongs to the genus Rhexia. Humboldt and Bonpland, two renowned naturalists of their time, meticulously documented their observations and discoveries during their extensive travels through the Americas, resulting in the publication of this beautiful and accurate botanical illustration. The illustration is a testament to the rich biodiversity of the tropical regions and the remarkable detail and precision of the naturalists' observations. With its vibrant color palette and intricate botanical detail, this illustration continues to captivate and inspire botanists, horticulturists, and nature enthusiasts alike.
