EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving by Daniel Mackenzie, based on a drawing by Ferdinand Bauer, showcases the stunning beauty of Lambertia formosa, also known as the mountain devil, a rare and captivating flowering plant native to the West Indies. The image, created in 1796, was produced from herbarium material sent to Lambert by Henry de Ponthieu. Lambertia formosa is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that first appeared during the Cretaceous period. This eudicot, or double-seeded plant, is a member of the Proteales order and the Eudicotinae subclass. The plant's distinctive geomorphology includes a shrubby growth habit, with bright yellow, honey-like flowers that bloom in clusters. The mountain devil's intricate and alluring flowers are depicted in exquisite detail in this 18th-century illustration. The eudicotyledonous plant, belonging to the Angiospermae and Magnoliophyta classes, is a marvel of nature, with its complex structure and unique characteristics. The engraving, made by Daniel Mackenzie from Ferdinand Bauer's original drawing, is a testament to the artists' skill and dedication to botanical illustration during this period. This image invites us to appreciate the natural world and the wonders of plant diversity, showcasing the beauty and intricacy of Lambertia formosa, the mountain devil.
