Gossypium religiosum, Willd. (Nankeen or brown cotton)
Watercolour on paper, no date (late 18th early 19th century). Hand painted copy of an illustration commissioned by William Roxburgh. In his Flora indica Roxburgh describes this species as a perennial allied to G. hirsutum Willd.. Roxburgh writes: This species has been introduced into Bengal under the name Nankeen cotton, but does not thrive so well as to make it profitable; the colour of the wool tawny, and very different from the colour of the cotton cloth commonly called Nankeen, which is no doubt dyed. This can scarcely be more than a variety of hirsutum. Inscribed in ink is Gossypium fuscum R.. Drawing is also inscribed by Sir George Watt (1851-1930) in the lower left corner, = G. hirsutum Linn. Sp. Pl. forma religiosa Roxb
