EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor painting depicts the intricate details of Lilium tingrinum, or the Himalayan lily, specifically focusing on its pollen grains and the copious adhesive substance known as pollenkitt. The artwork is a masterpiece by the renowned botanical illustrator Franz Bauer, created between 1800 and 1833. The meticulous illustration is part of the extensive collection housed in the Botany Library's Bauer Unit. The Lilium tingrinum is an Angiosperm, a type of flowering plant, and is native to the Himalayas. The pollen grains of this lily are essential for its reproductive process. In this painting, we can observe the pollen grains as they exude the adhesive pollenkitt, a sticky substance that helps the grains adhere to the stigma of the female flower for successful fertilization. The intricacies of the Lilium tingrinum's pollen grains and the pollenkitt exuding process are beautifully captured in this watercolor. The artwork also highlights the epidermis and hairs of the plant, adding to the overall botanical accuracy of the illustration. The presence of monstrosities, or abnormalities, in the painting further underscores the natural variability and complexity of the plant kingdom. Franz Bauer's watercolor is a testament to the artist's dedication and skill in capturing the intricacies of the natural world. This artwork serves as an invaluable resource for botanical research and education, providing a detailed and accurate record of the Lilium tingrinum's pollen grains and the pollenkitt exuding process.
