Cotton Cotton Plant Eudicot Eurosid Fluffy Gossypium Malvaceae Malvales Malvidae Rosid Angiospermae Dicot Dicotyledon Magnoliophyta


EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration showcases the beauty of Gossypium acuminatum, commonly known as cotton, a flowering plant in the Malvaceae family. The botanical drawing, taken from the esteemed Botany Library Plate Collection held at the Natural History Museum in London, provides a detailed and accurate representation of this important angiosperm. Gossypium acuminatum is a long-standing member of the Malvales order, which also includes hibiscus and okra. As a eudicot, or a dicotyledon, it is characterized by its two seed leaves, or cotyledons, and its complex flower structure. The plant is a vital member of the Rosid clade, which is a large grouping of flowering plants that also includes roses and sunflowers. The illustration captures the intricacies of the cotton plant's flowers, which are typically large, showy, and white with pink or red centers. The fluffy fibers surrounding the seeds, which are the source of commercial cotton, are not visible in this drawing, but are an essential feature of the plant. The leaves, depicted here with their long, narrow shape and lobed margins, provide the necessary structure for the plant to grow and thrive. As a member of the Malvaceae family, cotton is closely related to other plants such as hibiscus and hollyhock. The botanical illustration serves as a testament to the beauty and complexity of the natural world, providing a window into the intricacies of this important and widely cultivated plant.
