EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite botanical illustration showcases the enchanting beauty of Iris sari, a captivating member of the Iridaceae family. The image is taken from Plate XXVI of The Genus Iris, a comprehensive work on the genus Iris, authored by renowned British botanist William Rickatson Dykes in 1913. Dykes, born in 1877, was an accomplished botanist, taxonomist, and explorer, who dedicated his life to the study of monocotyledonous flowering plants, particularly those belonging to the order Asparagales. The illustration reveals the intricate details of the Iris sari, with its elegant purple and yellow petals unfurled around a central, green spadix. The leaves, depicted in the background, display the characteristic parallel venation typical of monocotyledonous plants. The Iris sari is native to Asia, and its vibrant colors and alluring form make it a beloved addition to botanical gardens and natural landscapes across the region. This illustration, held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, is a testament to the rich history of botanical exploration and documentation. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of delicate shading techniques bring the Iris sari to life, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and intricacy in a way that transcends time. As an angiosperm, the Iris sari is a flowering plant that contributes to the Magnoliophyta division, which includes all flowering plants. The Genus Iris, to which the Iris sari belongs, is one of the largest genera in the plant kingdom, with over 300 species. This illustration serves as a reminder of the vast diversity and complexity of the natural world, and the importance of documenting and preserving it for future generations.
