EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century illustration, titled "Buroowang" or "Burrawang," depicts the Macrozamia communis, commonly known as the burrawang palm or the Australian cycad. This exquisite drawing is part of the Watling Collection, created by a Port Jackson Painter between 1788 and 1797. The artist meticulously captured the intricate details of this unique Australian plant, which is a member of the Cycadales order, specifically the Macrozamia genus. The burrawang palm is a cycad, which means it is a type of gymnosperm, or non-flowering seed plant. Unlike most flowering plants, which belong to the Angiospermae class, cycads produce their seeds in cones. This ancient plant is native to eastern Australia and is characterized by its large, fan-shaped leaves, which can grow up to 2 meters long. The leaves are covered in tiny, sharp spines, giving them a distinctive appearance. The Macrozamia communis is a monocotyledon, which means it has only one seed leaf when it germinates. It is also a commelinid, which is a group of monocotyledonous plants that includes palms, cycads, and other types of plants. The burrawang palm is an essential part of the Australian ecosystem, providing food and shelter for various animals, including the endangered Glossy Black-Cockatoo. This beautiful illustration is a testament to the natural wonders that existed long before European settlers arrived in Australia. It provides us with a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique and diverse flora that can be found on this vast and fascinating continent. The intricate details of the drawing, from the delicate veins on the leaves to the sharp spines, are a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the natural world.
