EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite monochrome drawing of Cytisus scoparius, commonly known as English broom, is an elegant illustration from the nineteenth century held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. Created by the skilled hand of Arthur Harry Church in 1902, this illustration showcases the intricate details of this beautiful leguminous plant. Cytisus scoparius, a member of the Fabaceae or legume family, is a flowering plant that belongs to the order Fabales and the suborder Fabaceae. It is an eudicot, angiosperm, and a magnoliophyte, meaning it is a flowering plant with seed-bearing ovary, enclosed ovules, and a thickened seed coat. The English broom is native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, and is characterized by its dense, bushy growth and yellow, pea-like flowers. The drawing captures the plant's delicate flowers, which are arranged in racemes, or elongated clusters. The flowers are bisexual, meaning they have both male and female reproductive organs. The plant's leaves are pinnate, meaning they are compound and arranged along the stem like feathers on a wing. The English broom is also known as Genet a balais in French and Hogweed in some English dialects, but it is not to be confused with the invasive Hogweed plant. Arthur Harry Church was a renowned botanical illustrator of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His meticulous drawings and watercolors were published in various botanical works and journals, making significant contributions to the scientific record of the natural world. This drawing of Cytisus scoparius is a testament to his artistic skill and dedication to botanical illustration.
