EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 357: Chlorostilbon alice, the Green-tailed Emerald, in elegant flight above a vibrant display of angiosperms. This hand-coloured lithograph, created in 1861 as part of A Monograph of the Trochilidae or Family of Hummingbirds by John Gould, captures the ethereal beauty of this enchanting bird. The Green-tailed Emerald, a member of the Apodiformes order and the family Trochilidae, is named for its brilliant green tail feathers and iridescent emerald-green plumage. The bird is depicted in mid-flight, its wings spread wide, revealing the intricate details of its avian anatomy. Its long, slender bill, curved and slightly downward, is perfectly adapted for extracting nectar from the flowers it visits. The Green-tailed Emerald is a vital pollinator, contributing to the reproduction of angiosperms, or flowering plants. In this stunning illustration, the Green-tailed Emerald is accompanied by a variety of flowers, including those from the Aspidobranchia and Archaeogastropoda families. The delicate petals and intricate structures of these flowers provide a striking contrast to the bold, vibrant colours of the bird. The Green-tailed Emerald is a daytime species, spending its days flitting from flower to flower, feeding on their nectar. Its presence adds a touch of magic to any garden or natural habitat, making it a cherished sight for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts alike. This image, produced during the 19th century, remains a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the time. It invites us to appreciate the intricate relationships between birds, flowers, and the natural world, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these delicate ecosystems for future generations.
