EDITORS COMMENTS
This annotated drawing by Ferdinand Bauer, titled "Dendrocnide excelsa (Weddell) Chew," showcases the intricate details of the Dendrocnide excelsa plant, also known as the Umbrella Tree or Cow Itch, as it was observed during the 18th century. The plant, which is an angiosperm, dicot, and eudicot, is depicted with its distinctive umbrella-shaped inflorescence and large, palmate leaves. In the foreground of the drawing, a bovine head and the hindquarters of a Bos taurus, or domestic cattle, are depicted. The presence of the cattle suggests the potential impact of this plant on livestock, as the sap of Dendrocnide excelsa can cause irritation and itching when the animal comes into contact with it. The drawing is annotated with the scientific name of the plant, which was first described by Weddell in 1856, and later revised by Chew in 1965. The plant is a member of the Fabaceae family, specifically the Dendrocnide genus. It is an artiodactyl, bovid, and eutherian, belonging to the order Artiodactyla and the suborder Bovidae. The intricate details of the plant and the inclusion of the bovine head add depth and context to this beautiful botanical illustration. Ferdinand Bauer's skillful use of shading and attention to detail bring the plant and the animal to life, making this a must-see for anyone with an interest in botany, zoology, or the natural world.
