EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 578 from the John Reeves Collection of Botanical Drawings from Canton, China, housed in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, presents a stunning illustration of Helianthus annuus, commonly known as the sunflower. This nineteenth century drawing, created during the height of the European fascination with Asian flora, showcases the bright and cheerful sunflower in all its glory. John Reeves (1774-1856), a British trader and botanical artist, compiled this extensive collection of botanical drawings during his time in China from 1812 to 1835. The collection, which includes over 1,500 drawings, is a testament to Reeves' keen observation skills and his dedication to documenting the diverse flora of Asia. The sunflower, a member of the Asteraceae or Compositae family, is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces enclosed seeds. It is a dicot, meaning it has two cotyledons, or seed leaves, and is part of the Eudicot clade, which includes a large number of flowering plants. The sunflower is also an Asterid, a subclass of the asterids, and belongs to the order Asterales. The sunflower is native to North America and is now widely cultivated for its edible seeds and oil. Its large, bright yellow or orange flowers, which follow the sun's movement throughout the day, have made it a beloved symbol of brightness and warmth. This beautiful and intricately detailed botanical illustration provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of botany and the rich cultural exchange between Europe and Asia during the 19th century.
