EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration showcases Thea chinensis, a member of the Theaceae family, more commonly known as tea. Thea chinensis is a flowering plant in the order Magnoliophyta, specifically belonging to the Eudicot clade, Angiospermae, and the subclass Asterids. It is a native to China and is closely related to Camellia sinensis, the plant from which all commercial tea is derived. The illustration beautifully captures the intricate details of Thea chinensis's leaves and flowers. The plant is an angiosperm, meaning it produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. The leaves are long, narrow, and pointed, with a glossy, dark green surface. The flowers are small and white, with a distinctive pink tinge at the base. Thea chinensis is an important plant in the botanical world, not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its edible and medicinal properties. Thea chinensis is a valuable plant in the Camellieae tribe, which also includes the well-known Camellia japonica and Camellia sasanqua. The plant is a dicot, meaning it has two seed leaves, or cotyledons, when it germinates. Thea chinensis is a long-lived plant, with a lifespan of up to 100 years. The illustration is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of the natural world and the importance of preserving botanical knowledge for future generations. This illustration is part of the Botany Library Plate Collection held at the Natural History Museum in London, a valuable resource for botanical research and education. The collection contains thousands of rare and historic botanical illustrations, providing a unique insight into the history of botanical discovery and documentation.
