EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning botanical illustration depicts the beautiful bladder katmia, or Hibiscus africanus, a flowering plant belonging to the Malvaceae family and the order Malvales. The eudicot, angiosperm, and dicotyledonous plant is native to Africa and is characterized by its large, bell-shaped, bright red to pink flowers with prominent, bladder-like calyces. The illustration, created between 1807 and 1858, is an exquisite example of botanical art from the 19th century. The illustration is attributed to Jane Wells Loudon, a renowned botanical artist of her time. Loudon was known for her meticulous attention to detail and her ability to capture the essence of her subjects with remarkable accuracy. This illustration is a testament to her artistic skill and her deep understanding of the natural world. The bladder katmia is a member of the Hibiscus genus, which includes over 300 species of flowering plants. The plant is also commonly referred to as the African hibiscus or the roselle. The calyces of the flower are used to make a popular beverage in Africa and other parts of the world, known as bissap or roselle drink. This illustration is a valuable addition to any botanical collection and provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich diversity of the plant kingdom during the 19th century. The intricate details of the petals, sepals, and other features of the bladder katmia are beautifully rendered, making this a must-have for anyone interested in botany, botanical illustration, or the natural world.
