EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the stunning beauty of the Red Vein Indian Mallow, Abutilon pictum, also known as the Striated Abutilon or Chinese Lantern plant. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by the talented Miss Jane Taylor and later engraved by S. Nevitt for inclusion in Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's esteemed publication, The Botanist, published in London in 1836. The Red Vein Indian Mallow is a captivating plant, with its velvety, heart-shaped leaves adorned with bold, crimson veins. The plant's five-petaled flowers bloom in shades of red, orange, and yellow, resembling delicate Chinese lanterns. The flowers hang in clusters, adding an air of elegance and charm to this already striking plant. The botanical illustration provides a detailed and accurate representation of the Red Vein Indian Mallow, showcasing its intricate veining, delicate petals, and unique foliage. The hand-coloring adds an extra layer of beauty, bringing the plant to life and highlighting its vibrant colors.

It is a popular choice for gardens and greenhouses, adding a touch of exotic beauty to any space. This botanical engraving is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the time, providing a glimpse into the natural world and the dedication of those who sought to document and preserve it.
