EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 590 from the John Reeves Collection of Botanical Drawings from Canton, China, housed in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, showcases the exquisite beauty of Chrysanthemum x morifolium, commonly known as the Pompon Chrysanthemum or the Mop-top Chrysanthemum. This stunning pink flower is a hybrid of the Chrysanthemum genus, which belongs to the Asteraceae or Compositae family, and is native to Asia. John Reeves (1774-1856), a British merchant and botanical artist, created this meticulous botanical illustration during the 19th century. The drawing showcases the intricate details of the Chrysanthemum's velvety petals, which form a dense, spherical inflorescence, and its sturdy stems adorned with lanceolate leaves. Chrysanthemum x morifolium is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. It is a eudicot, meaning it has two embryonic seed leaves, and is classified under the Magnoliophyta division, which includes all flowering plants that produce flowers with seeds. This botanical drawing is an essential addition to the vast collection of Potted Histories, which documents the rich and diverse flora of Asia. The intricate details of the illustration provide valuable insights into the morphology and taxonomy of Chrysanthemum x morifolium, and offer a glimpse into the botanical explorations of the 19th century. The John Reeves Collection of Botanical Drawings from Canton, China, is a testament to the importance of botanical art in documenting and preserving the natural world. This beautiful Chrysanthemum x morifolium illustration continues to inspire and captivate viewers, reminding us of the beauty and complexity of the natural world.
