EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 1109 from the Fleming Indian Drawings Collection presents an intriguing and captivating image of the Amorphophallus bulbifer, also known as the voodoo lily or the corpse flower. This botanical illustration, created in the late 18th or early 19th century, offers a rare glimpse into the exotic and mysterious world of Asian flora during the nineteenth century. The Amorphophallus bulbifer is a member of the Araceae family, specifically the subfamily Araloideae, and is native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. The plant is renowned for its large, distinctive inflorescence, which appears as a pink spadix surrounded by a large, hooded, and foul-smelling spathe. The spathe resembles a hood or a skirt, and its odor is reminiscent of rotting meat, attracting flies and other insects for pollination. The plant's unique features have earned it various names, including the corpse flower and the voodoo lily. The illustration, drawn by an unknown artist under the direction of Dr. John Fleming, showcases the plant's intricate details, from the textured surface of the spathe to the veined patterns on the leaves. Dr. Fleming was a prominent Scottish botanist and surgeon who traveled extensively in India and Sri Lanka, collecting specimens and making detailed observations of the local flora. His Indian Drawings Collection, held at the Natural History Museum in London, is a valuable resource for botanical research and provides insights into the botanical explorations of the nineteenth century. The Amorphophallus bulbifer is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant, and is classified under the monocotyledon division, which includes plants with a single cotyledon in their seeds. It is also a member of the monocotyledon orders Liliales and Alismatales. The plant's large, showy inflorescence and unique odor have made it a subject of fascination for botanists and plant enthusiasts alike, and this illustration serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the natural world.
