EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite sketch, titled "Plantae Selectae Cereus" by the renowned 18th century botanical artist Georg Dionysius Ehret, showcases a captivating close-up view of the night-blooming cereus (Cereus repandus) flower. The intricate illustration, held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, is a testament to Ehret's exceptional skill and dedication to botanical accuracy. The night-blooming cereus, also known as the Queen of the Night, is a remarkable cactus native to Central and South America. Known for its long, tubular, and vibrant yellow flowers, this plant blooms only once a year, usually during the night, making it a rare and enchanting sight. Ehret's meticulous drawing reveals the intricate details of the night-blooming cereus flower, from the delicate petals to the intricate stamen and pistil. The illustration is a valuable addition to Ehret's extensive body of work, which contributed significantly to the advancement of botanical science during the 18th century. As a member of the Cactaceae family, the night-blooming cereus is a cactus, a type of succulent plant that stores water in its stems. It is also an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. More specifically, it is a eudicot, a type of dicotyledon, which means it has two seed leaves, or cotyledons, when it germinates. The night-blooming cereus is also classified as a member of the Caryophyllales order, which includes a diverse range of flowering plants. Ehret's sketch of the night-blooming cereus is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important historical document, providing valuable insights into the botanical knowledge of the 18th century. The intricacy and detail of the illustration serve as a reminder of the fascination and wonder that botanical discoveries held during this period, and continue to inspire curiosity and exploration in the natural world today.
