EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite engraving by Franz Bauer, published in his seminal work "Plantae javanicae rarioriores" in 1838, showcases the captivating beauty of Rhynchoglossum obliquum. The illustration was drawn by Ferdinand Bauer, a renowned botanical artist of the 18th century. Rhynchoglossum obliquum is a rare and intriguing member of the Gesneriaceae family, which is part of the larger group of angiosperms, flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed in an ovary. This particular species is classified as an eudicot, asterid, and lamiales, and is native to tropical regions. The plant is depicted in full bloom, with its vibrant, tubular flowers arranged in dense, elongated inflorescences. The flowers exhibit a striking contrast between their bright red, curved labella and the pale green calyx and corolla. The labella, which resembles a small, curved horn, is a unique feature of this species and gives it its name, "Rhynchoglossum," derived from the Greek words for "horn" and "tongue." The intricate details of the drawing and the meticulous engraving techniques employed by Bauer capture the delicate structures of the plant's flowers, veins, and leaves, providing an accurate and visually stunning representation of Rhynchoglossum obliquum. This botanical illustration is a testament to the artists' skill and dedication to documenting the natural world during the 18th century, and it continues to captivate and inspire viewers even today.
