EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite nineteenth century drawing depicts the Cape Blue Waterlily, Nymphaea capensis var. zanzibariensis, a beautiful and rare aquatic plant native to Southern Africa. The illustration, created by the skilled hand of Arthur Harry Church in 1907, is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. As part of the extensive and historic collection of the Museum, this drawing is a testament to the rich botanical heritage of the Victorian era. The Cape Blue Waterlily, also known as the Cape Pond Lily, is a member of the Nymphaeaceae family, which is part of the larger monocotyledonous order of flowering plants, Liliales. This aquatic perennial produces large, vibrant blue-purple flowers that sit atop the water's surface, creating a stunning and captivating display. The plant's large, circular leaves provide a platform for the flowers to bloom, and also serve as a vital source of oxygen for the plant's submerged roots. The intricate details of the drawing showcase the delicate beauty of the Cape Blue Waterlily's flowers, with their distinctive purple-blue petals and yellow stamens. The drawing also reveals the intricacies of the plant's veined leaves, which are a testament to the plant's adaptation to life in the water. As a valuable addition to the botanical record, this drawing by Arthur Harry Church provides a glimpse into the natural world of over a century ago, and serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the diversity of the natural world. The Cape Blue Waterlily remains an iconic and beloved symbol of Southern Africa's unique and diverse flora, and continues to captivate and inspire botanists, artists, and nature lovers alike.
