EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 23 from the John Reeves Collection of Botanical Drawings from Canton, China, housed in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, presents a captivating illustration of Magnolia cf. delavayi. This nineteenth century drawing, created during the 19th century, offers a detailed and intricate portrayal of this beautiful magnolia species native to Asia. John Reeves (1774-1856), a British merchant and botanical artist, is renowned for his extensive collection of botanical drawings from China. This particular illustration showcases the long, elegant flowers of Magnolia cf. delavayi, which are characterized by their large, white petals and distinctive red stigmas. The plant is depicted in a potted setting, providing a sense of the domestic cultivation of such exotic specimens during the time. Magnolia cf. delavayi is a member of the Magnoliaceae family, which is considered the basal group of angiosperms, or flowering plants. The Magnoliaceae are dicotyledonous plants, meaning they have two seed leaves, and are classified under the Magnoliophyta division. This drawing highlights the unique features of the Magnoliaceae, which have played a significant role in the understanding of plant evolution and classification. The delicate beauty of this magnolia species is captured in this meticulously crafted botanical illustration. The intricate details and precise shading reveal the artist's skill and dedication to accurately depicting the plant's features. This drawing serves as a testament to the rich botanical knowledge of the time and the importance of documenting the natural world.
