EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coloured copper engraving by Ferdinand Bauer, based on his own watercolour, showcases two exquisite Stylidium species native to Australia: Stylidium calcaratum and Stylidium pygmaeum. The illustration is part of the "Illustrationes Florae Novae Hollandiae," published in Vienna in 1816. The intricate details of these triggers plants are beautifully captured in this artwork. Stylidium calcaratum, also known as the hooked-stylus triggerplant, is characterized by its distinctive, hooked style, which is designed to attract and trap insects for pollination. The plant's leaves are arranged in a rosette, with each leaf featuring a small, tubular flower. Stylidium pygmaeum, or the dwarf triggerplant, is a much smaller species, with its flowers measuring only a few millimeters in diameter. Despite its size, this plant is equally impressive, with its vibrant coloration and intricate internal structure. Both species belong to the genus Stylidium, which is known for its unique internal anatomy. The plants possess a specialized structure called a nectary pocket, which produces a sweet nectar to attract pollinators. The pollen is then transferred to the insect's body as it moves through the flower, ensuring cross-pollination. This artwork is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of nature, as well as the artistic skill of Ferdinand Bauer. It provides a glimpse into the botanical discoveries of the early 19th century and serves as an inspiration for the study and appreciation of the natural world.
