EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite outline drawing by Sydney Parkinson depicts Capparis canescens, commonly known as dog capers or beach capers, as observed during Captain James Cook's historic first voyage across the Pacific Ocean from 1768 to 1771. The 18th century illustration showcases the Angiosperm, specifically a member of the Brassicales order, Capparaceae family, and Capparis genus. The plant is classified as a dicot, eudicot, and rosid, with epithersia, eudicots, and eurosids being its more specific taxonomic designations. The illustration captures the unique features of the dog caper plant, including its simple, alternate, and pinnate leaves, and the small, orange, four-petaled flowers that bloom in clusters. The plant is native to the Pacific islands, as well as parts of Africa and Asia, and is known for its edible fruit, which resembles a small, green capsule. The drawing also highlights the connection between the dog caper and the canid family, with the common name "dog capers" derived from the plant's resemblance to the shape and size of a dog's testicles. The plant is not related to dogs, but the name is a testament to the natural world's intriguing and sometimes whimsical naming conventions. This illustration is a valuable historical record of the natural world as observed during the Age of Discovery, and a testament to the remarkable observations and documentation provided by Captain James Cook and his crew, including the talented artist Sydney Parkinson.
