EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning botanical illustration showcases the elegant beauty of Iris setosa, commonly known as the Blue Flag, captured in Plate XXIII from The Genus Iris by renowned British botanist and illustrator, William Rickatson Dykes. The print, held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, dates back to 1877-1925. The Blue Flag is a monocotyledonous flowering plant belonging to the Iridaceae family, and the order Asparagales. This particular species is characterized by its tall, slender rhizome and its vibrant blue-violet flowers, which bloom in the summer months. The plant's graceful, narrow leaves form a rosette at the base, and its long, slender stems bear the elegant flowers, each with six petals and three sepals. The intricate details of the Blue Flag's anatomy are expertly rendered in this illustration, providing a fascinating glimpse into the complex structure of this exquisite monocot angiosperm. The delicate veining on the petals and sepals, the intricate details of the stamen and pistil, and the subtle variations in color and texture are all captured with remarkable precision. The Blue Flag is native to Europe, Asia, and North America, and has been cultivated for its attractive flowers for centuries. It is a beloved plant in gardens and natural habitats alike, and its elegant beauty continues to captivate botanists and nature enthusiasts alike. This illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific rigor of William Rickatson Dykes, who dedicated his career to documenting the natural world with meticulous detail and unparalleled skill. The Genus Iris remains a seminal work in the field of botanical illustration, and this print is a cherished addition to the Botany Library's extensive collection.
