EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 159 from The Chief Natural Orders of Plants, published in 1849, features an exquisite illustration of a Gladiolus sp. corn flag (now known as Antholyza cornutifolia). This drawing, illustrated and described by Elizabeth Twining (1805-1889), showcases the vibrant beauty of this flowering plant in its full glory. The plant, a member of the Iridaceae family and the Poales order, is depicted with tall, sturdy stems adorned with striking, elongated, red and purple flowers. The gladiolus, also known as corn flag or cornflag, is a monocotyledon, belonging to the Angiospermae, Magnoliophyta, and Commelinid classes. The illustration reveals the intricate details of the plant's structure, with its twisted, twining stems and the elegant, tubular flowers arranged in a spike-like inflorescence. The flowers, with their distinctive, narrow labellum and three prominent anthers, are shown in various stages of bloom, providing a detailed representation of the plant's reproductive features. Elizabeth Twining, a skilled botanical artist, captured the essence of this plant with remarkable precision and artistry. Her meticulous attention to detail and dedication to accurate representation resulted in a stunning visual record of the Gladiolus sp. corn flag, which continues to captivate and inspire botanical enthusiasts to this day.
