EDITORS COMMENTS
Smooth Leaved Zieria, Zieria laevigata: A Delicate Australian Bush Flower This exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engraving showcases the Smooth Leaved Zieria, Zieria laevigata, a native Australian shrub belonging to the Boroniaceae family. The intricate illustration was produced by the skilled hand of Mrs. Augusta Withers and meticulously engraved by S. Nevitt for Benjamin Maund and the Reverend John Stevens Henslow's publication, "The Botanist," published in London in 1836. The Smooth Leaved Zieria is a twiggy, midge-sized bush, adorned with delicate, smooth-edged leaves that give it its name. The shrub is native to New South Wales and Victoria in Australia and is often found in rocky, wooded areas. The tiny, white flowers appear in clusters and bloom from October to December. The illustration captures the essence of the Smooth Leaved Zieria's delicate beauty, with its fine veining and intricate details brought to life through the artistry of Withers and Nevitt. The use of hand-colouring adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of Victorian botanical illustration. The Botanist, published by Maund and Henslow, was a significant contribution to the field of botany during the Victorian era. The publication showcased a wide range of Australian flora, providing an accurate record of the diverse plant life of the continent. This Smooth Leaved Zieria engraving is a testament to the dedication and expertise of its creators and remains an invaluable resource for botanical research and appreciation today.
