Sticky Tailflower or Glutinous Anthocercis (Anthocercis viscosa): A Victorian Botanical Marvel This exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engraving showcases the Sticky Tailflower, also known as Glutinous Anthocercis (Anthocercis viscosa), a captivating native Australian plant. The engraving is an intricate reproduction of a botanical illustration by Mills, as published in Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's esteemed work, 'The Botanist,' in London, 1836. The Sticky Tailflower is a unique and fascinating plant native to Western Australia. Its common name derives from the glandular hairs covering its leaves and stems, which exude a sticky substance when touched. This protective feature deters herbivores and helps the plant conserve water in its arid habitat. The engraving beautifully captures the plant's delicate features, including its slender, dark green stems adorned with small, oval leaves and its vibrant, tubular, orange-red flowers. The flowers bloom in clusters at the ends of the branches, adding a splash of colour to the otherwise monochromatic landscape. This Victorian-era botanical illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time. The intricate engraving process involved creating a copperplate etching, which was then hand-coloured to bring the plant's natural beauty to life. The result is a stunning work of art that transports us back to a time when botanical exploration and documentation were at the forefront of scientific discovery. The Sticky Tailflower remains an intriguing and beautiful addition to the world of botany, with its unique adaptations and captivating appearance. This engraving serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
