EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 63: Gentiana sp. (Blue Gentian), a stunning 19th century botanical illustration by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn. This exquisite image, held at the Natural History Museum in London, showcases the beautiful Blue Gentian (Gentiana sp.), a member of the Gentianaceae family within the order Gentianales. The Blue Gentian is an eudicot, angiosperm, and a dicotyledon, characterized by its vibrant blue flowers and tall, slender stem. The illustration captures the delicate intricacy of the Gentian's bell-shaped flowers, adorned with a distinctive white star-like center. The Blue Gentian is a favorite among pollinators, particularly butterflies and various insects, as seen in the depiction of several invertebrates, including hexapod arthropods, gracefully interacting with the flowers. The presence of these insects, such as the butterflies, highlights the important role these creatures play in the pollination process. The Blue Gentian is an essential food source for these invertebrates, and their visitation is crucial for the plant's reproductive success. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn, a skilled botanical artist, expertly captured the essence of the Blue Gentian, its intricate details, and its allure to its pollinators in this remarkable 1829-1928 artwork. This illustration is a testament to the harmonious relationship between plants and their pollinators and the intricate balance of nature.
