EDITORS COMMENTS
Dr. Gills Selago, Selago gillii, is a beautiful and rare species of flowering plant, as elegantly captured in this handcoloured copperplate engraving by S. Watts, after an illustration by J.T. Hart, published in Sydenham Edwards' Botanical Register in 1832. The intricate details of the Selago gillii's delicate white flowers, with their distinctive purple veins and yellow anthers, are expertly rendered in this exquisite work of botanical art. Dr. Gills Selago is native to South Africa and is a member of the Scrophulariaceae family. It is a small, herbaceous plant that grows to about 30 centimeters in height, with narrow, lanceolate leaves and a profusion of flowers that bloom in the summer months. The plant is named in honor of Dr. William J. Gill, a prominent botanist and collector of the time, who discovered the species in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa in 1829. This handcoloured copperplate engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the 19th century. The Botanical Register, published by Sydenham Edwards, was a leading horticultural journal of the time, and its high-quality illustrations were widely admired and collected by botanists, gardeners, and collectors around the world. Today, Dr. Gills Selago remains a prized addition to any botanical collection, and its beautiful flowers continue to inspire artists, gardeners, and naturalists alike. This stunning engraving is a reminder of the important role that botanical art played in documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
