EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century drawing depicts the majestic Flindersia australis, also known as the crow ash tree, native to Australia and New Guinea. The evergreen tree is a prominent member of the Angiospermae, a group of flowering plants, and is classified as an eudicot, specifically an asterid within the Sapindales order. The tree is named for its association with the Corvidae family, particularly crows and other birds, which are known to feed on its fruits. The tree's name, Flindersia australis, was given by Ferdinand Bauer, an Austrian botanical artist and naturalist, during his tenure as the official artist on Matthew Flinders' circumnavigation of Australia in the late 18th century. The crow ash tree is characterized by its large, glossy leaves and distinctive, fragrant white flowers. The tree can grow up to 30 meters tall and is an important source of food and shelter for various animals, including birds and insects. Its wood is also valued for its durability and resistance to decay. This beautiful drawing, produced during the height of the European exploration and documentation of the natural world, showcases the intricate details of the Flindersia australis and provides a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the Australasian region. The tree's striking appearance and ecological significance continue to captivate scientists, artists, and nature enthusiasts alike.
