Asterid Ericaceae Ericales Eudicot Rhododendron Snelling Angiospermae Dicot Dicotyledon Magnoliophyta
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration showcases the exquisite beauty of Rhododendron moupinense, a member of the large and diverse Rhododendron genus within the Ericaceae family. The Rhododendron is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. This particular species, R. moupinense, is an eudicot, a subgroup of dicotyledonous plants characterized by having two seed leaves (cotyledons) upon germination. The illustration, part of the Large Collection by L. Snelling, was produced in 1922 and is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. Snelling's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the Rhododendron's pink flowers, which are arranged in dense clusters. The petals, sepals, and stamens are all clearly visible, revealing the complex structure of the flower. Rhododendrons are part of the order Ericales, within the asterid clade, a group of flowering plants that includes a wide range of important plant families such as the Gentianaceae, Ericaceae, and Acanthaceae. The Rhododendron genus, with over 1,000 known species, is native to various regions including Asia, Europe, and North America. The Rhododendron moupinense, also known as the Moupin Rhododendron, is native to China and is known for its large, showy flowers that bloom in late spring. It is an evergreen shrub that can grow up to 15 meters tall and is highly valued for its ornamental value. This illustration serves as a testament to the timeless allure and beauty of these magnificent plants.
