EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 41: Geranium sp. (Geraniaceae), commonly known as Cranesbills or Geraniums, is depicted in this stunning nineteenth-century illustration by Elizabeth Twining. Dating back to 1849, this exquisite drawing showcases the intricate details of the flower, which belongs to the eudicot order Rosid, specifically the subclass Geraniales. The Geraniaceae family is characterized by their long, simple stems that often twine around other plants, making them popular ornamentals. The Geranium sp. featured here displays a beautiful arrangement of pink and blue flowers, with distinct veining and a delicate, five-lobed structure. The flowers are bisexual and have both stamens and pistils, making them typical angiosperms. This particular species is a dicot, meaning it possesses two cotyledons, and is classified within the angiospermae, magnoliophyta, and Eudicot clade. Elizabeth Twining (1805-1889) was a renowned botanical illustrator of her time, producing numerous detailed and accurate drawings of various plant species. Her work was published in several botanical publications, including this illustration from The Chief Natural Orders of Plants. The Victorian era, during which Twining lived and worked, was a period of significant scientific discovery and advancement, making her contributions to botanical illustration all the more valuable. The Geranium sp. remains a popular flowering plant today, appreciated for its vibrant colors and unique structure. This illustration serves as a testament to the beauty and intricacy of the natural world, captured through the skillful hand of Elizabeth Twining.
