EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Epidendrum schlechterianum orchid, also known as the Purple nanodes or Nanodes discolor. The intricate detail of this botanical illustration was produced by the skilled hands of S. Watts, based on an original drawing by Miss Sarah Drake, and published in the esteemed Botanical Register in Ridgeway, London, in 1832. The Epidendrum schlechterianum is a stunning epiphyte hailing from Central and South America, characterized by its vibrant purple flowers and distinctive nanodes, or small, flat, waxy appendages, which can be seen adorning the labellum, or lip, of the flower in this illustration. Orchids have long been celebrated for their captivating allure and intricate beauty, and this engraving is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the past who brought the wonders of the natural world to life through their meticulous work. The Epidendrum schlechterianum remains a beloved and cherished orchid species today, continuing to inspire awe and admiration with its enchanting blooms.
