EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolour painting depicts Calystegia tuguriorum, also known as powhiwhi, a beautiful and intriguing flowering plant from the Convolvulaceae family. The painting is a finished work by the renowned 18th century artist John Frederick Miller, based on an original outline drawing made by Sydney Parkinson during Captain James Cook's first voyage across the Pacific Ocean between 1768 and 1771. The Endeavour, Captain Cook's ship, carried a team of naturalists and artists, including Parkinson, to document and record new discoveries in the natural world. This painting is a testament to their groundbreaking work, which significantly advanced the scientific understanding of the Angiosperms, a group of flowering plants that includes Calystegia tuguriorum. Calystegia tuguriorum, commonly known as bindweed, is an Eudicot, a type of dicotyledon, which is a subgroup of angiosperms that have two seed leaves. The plant is part of the Solanales order, and its flowers belong to the asterid clade. The pink, climbing Calystegia tuguriorum is native to New Zealand and Australasia and is characterized by its heart-shaped leaves and trumpet-shaped flowers. This stunning watercolour painting, with its delicate brushwork and vibrant colours, offers a glimpse into the rich natural history of the Pacific and the remarkable achievements of the early explorers and naturalists. It is a valuable record of the past, and a testament to the enduring beauty and fascination of the natural world.
