18th Century Alecto Asterid Bartram Ericales Eudicot Flora Theaceae William Bartram Zoological Angiospermae Dicot Dicotyledon Magnoliophyta


EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite botanical drawing, titled "Franklinia alatamaha" or the Franklin Tree, is an 18th-century masterpiece by the renowned American naturalist and artist, William Bartram. This illustration, part of the extensive "Botanical and Zoological Drawings (1756-1788)" collection, showcases the beauty and intricacy of this rare and unique flowering plant native to the southeastern United States. The Franklin Tree, a member of the Theaceae family, is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. This particular specimen is identified as a dicot, a type of dicotyledon, characterized by having two seed leaves. The plant is classified within the Ericales order, the Asterid clade, and the Eudicot subclass, reflecting its complex evolutionary history. The drawing captures the long, yellow flowers of the Franklin Tree in stunning detail, with their distinctive, five-lobed corollas and numerous stamens. The plant's leaves are also depicted, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal of the illustration. The Franklin Tree is known for its unique morphology and limited distribution, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection. William Bartram, a contemporary of Carl Linnaeus, was a prolific naturalist and artist, documenting the flora and fauna of the American colonies during the late 1700s. His meticulous drawings, like this one, continue to be a source of inspiration and knowledge for botanists, horticulturists, and nature enthusiasts alike. This Franklinia alatamaha drawing is a testament to Bartram's artistic talent and his significant contributions to the scientific community during the 18th century.
