Commelinid John Reeves Monocot Monocotyledon Reeves Stalk Zingiberales Angiospermae Magnoliophyta
EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 915 from the John Reeves Collection of Botanical Drawings, housed in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, presents a captivating illustration of Phrynium sp. This magnificent nineteenth century botanical drawing, created during the height of the Anglo-Chinese trade, showcases the intricate details of this monocotyledonous angiosperm, a member of the Marantaceae family and the Zingiberales order. John Reeves, a British botanical artist, meticulously captured the unique features of this plant, including its tall, sturdy stalk adorned with elegant, green leaves. The leaves, arranged in a rosette at the base of the plant, are characterized by their broad, ovate shape and their prominent midrib, which adds texture and depth to the illustration. The Phrynium sp. is a flowering plant, belonging to the Magnoliophyta division, and is a commelinid, meaning it is part of a large group of monocotyledonous flowering plants. The plant's small, green flowers are not visible in this illustration, but they are known to be borne on long, spadix-like inflorescences. This botanical drawing is a testament to the rich botanical discoveries made during the 19th century, as European explorers and naturalists documented the diverse flora of China and other parts of the world. The intricate details of the Phrynium sp. illustration, with its vibrant green hues and precise shading, offer a glimpse into the beauty and complexity of the natural world, as captured by the skilled hand of John Reeves.
