EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored botanical illustration showcases the intricacies of the Bristly Lychnidea, or Phlox setacea, a beautiful garden flower belonging to the Phlox family. Drawn and engraved by the skilled hand of William Clark, this illustration was published in Richard Morris's "Flora Conspicua," a renowned botanical work published in London by Longman, Rees, in 1826. The illustration captures the delicate details of the plant, from its slender, setaceous leaves to its vibrant, five-petaled flowers. The petals, which are arranged in a symmetrical pattern, display a captivating blend of pink and white hues, with a distinctly bristly appearance due to the numerous, fine hairs that cover their surface. These hairs not only add to the plant's aesthetic appeal but also serve a functional purpose, protecting the delicate petals from damage. Botanical illustrations like this one were an essential tool for the scientific community during the 19th century, as they provided an accurate record of the plant's morphology and allowed for the identification and classification of new species. The intricate details captured in this illustration demonstrate the high level of skill and dedication required to produce such accurate and beautiful works of art. Phlox setacea, also known as the Bristly Lychnidea, is a native plant of North America and is commonly found in woodlands and open areas. It is a popular garden plant due to its attractive flowers and fragrance, which bloom in late spring and early summer. This illustration serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and importance of botanical art in documenting the natural world.
