EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 32 from Flora Brasiliensis, Vol. 14, Part 2 (1867) presents a stunning illustration of the Cacoucia coccinea, a vibrant and intricately designed flowering plant belonging to the Combretaceae family, specifically the genus Combretum. This exquisite drawing, created by the renowned botanical illustrator Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius (1794-1868), showcases the beauty and complexity of this eudicot, angiosperm, which is also known as Combretum cacoucia. The nineteenth century (19th century) illustration captures the essence of the Victorian era's fascination with the natural world. Martius, a German botanist and explorer, meticulously documented the flora of Brazil during several expeditions, making significant contributions to the scientific community. His work, Flora Brasiliensis, is considered a seminal publication in the field of botany. The Cacoucia coccinea, with its bright red leaves and distinctive, small, white flowers, is a member of the Malvidae, Rosid clade, and the Myrtales order. The plant's leaves are arranged in an opposite decussate pattern, a common characteristic of eudicots. The intricate details of the plant's veins and leaf structures are beautifully rendered in the illustration, providing a window into the intricacies of the plant's anatomy. This illustration not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill of the botanical illustrator but also as an invaluable resource for scientific research. The careful documentation of the Cacoucia coccinea, and other plants, by Martius and his contemporaries, continues to inform our understanding of the natural world and the intricate relationships between various plant species.
