Plate 20: Calogyne corrugata, a stunning illustration of this beautiful and intricately detailed flowering plant, belongs to the Goodeniaceae family, specifically the Asterales order, within the Eudicot clade of Angiosperms. This botanical masterpiece was meticulously rendered by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn in the year 1829, during the 19th century's golden age of botanical illustration. The subject of this illustration, Calogyne corrugata, is a long-rooted, herbaceous plant native to Australia. The plant is commonly known as Hop Goodenia or Goodenia corrugata, and it is characterized by its attractive, corrugated leaves and vibrant, tubular flowers that bloom in clusters. The flowers are typically bright yellow with a red base and possess a unique, star-like shape, making them a captivating sight.

Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was a prolific botanical artist, producing numerous illustrations of various plants during her career.

This illustration of Calogyne corrugata is a testament to her exceptional skill and dedication to accurately documenting the natural world.
