EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolour painting depicts Senecio rufiglandulosus, also known as New Zealand groundsel or ragwort, created by the renowned botanical artist Fred Polydore Nodder in the late 18th century. The original outline drawing for this artwork was made by Sydney Parkinson during Captain James Cook's first voyage across the Pacific Ocean, between 1768 and 1771. During this historic journey, Cook and his crew explored new lands and documented numerous plant species they encountered, including Senecio rufiglandulosus, which is native to New Zealand and other parts of Australasia. This flowering plant belongs to the Asteraceae or Compositae family, which is the largest family of flowering plants, and is classified as an angiosperm, dicot, eudicot, and asterid within the Magnoliophyta division. The vibrant illustration showcases the plant's distinctive features, including its ragged, hairy leaves and yellow composite flowers. The painting captures the intricacies of the plant's structure, providing a detailed and accurate record of Senecio rufiglandulosus for scientific and botanical purposes. Nodder's watercolour painting is a testament to the remarkable discoveries made during Cook's voyage and the significant contributions of botanical artists like Nodder and Parkinson in documenting the natural world. This artwork remains an important historical record and a beautiful representation of the natural beauty of the Senecio rufiglandulosus plant.
