EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolour painting depicts Clematis Forsteri, also known as the New Zealand Clematis, an evergreen climbing plant belonging to the Ranunculaceae family, specifically the Ranunculales order and the Eudicotinae subclass. The painting is a finished work by the renowned botanical artist Fred Polydore Nodder, based on an original outline drawing made during the historic first voyage of Captain James Cook across the Pacific Ocean between 1768 and 1771. Captain Cook's ship, the Endeavour, carried on board the naturalist Sydney Parkinson, who meticulously documented the diverse flora and fauna of the lands they visited. Parkinson's original drawing of Clematis Forsteri was created during Cook's exploration of New Zealand and Australia, making this painting an invaluable record of the early botanical discoveries in the region. The Clematis Forsteri is a beautiful angiosperm, or flowering plant, characterized by its long, slender stems and large, attractive flowers. As a member of the Eudicotyledons, or eudicots, this plant is a dicot, meaning it has two seed leaves, and is part of the Magnoliophyta division, which includes all flowering plants. This exquisite watercolour painting captures the intricate details and vibrant colors of the Clematis Forsteri, offering a glimpse into the rich natural history of the Pacific and the groundbreaking work of Captain Cook and his crew. The painting is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, as well as the importance of early exploration and documentation in advancing scientific knowledge.
