EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor illustration showcases the vibrant beauty of Bromelia anticantha, a bromeliad species native to the Amazon rainforest. Painted by the renowned botanical artist Margaret Ursula Mee in the late 1950s, this artwork captures the intricate details of the plant's colorful inflorescence. Mee's dedication to documenting the diverse flora of the Amazon region during the 20th century significantly contributed to increasing global awareness of the richness and importance of the rainforest's plant life. Bromelia anticantha is a monocotyledonous flowering plant belonging to the family Bromeliaceae, order Poales, and class Magnoliophyta. The plant is characterized by its rosette of leaves, which form a cup that collects water, and its bright red and green inflorescence. This artwork highlights the commelinid characteristics of the plant, with its elongated spike and small, individual flowers. Margaret Ursula Mee (1909-1988) was a passionate botanical artist whose work has left an indelible mark on the scientific community. Her meticulous illustrations of plants from the Amazon rainforest have provided invaluable records of the region's biodiversity. This beautiful watercolor of Bromelia anticantha is a testament to Mee's dedication and her remarkable ability to capture the essence of the natural world.
