EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolour painting depicts Rubus australis, commonly known as the bush lawyer or New Zealand raspberry, created by the acclaimed 18th century artist Fred Polydore Nodder. The illustration was based on an original outline drawing made by Sydney Parkinson during Captain James Cook's first voyage across the Pacific Ocean, between 1768 and 1771. The Rubus australis is a plant belonging to the Rosaceae family, which is an order of flowering plants that includes roses, apples, pears, and many other fruit-bearing plants. This particular species is native to Australia and New Zealand, and is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. The bush lawyer is a dicot, meaning it is a type of plant that has two seed leaves, or cotyledons, when it germinates. It is also an eudicot, which is a subgroup of dicots that have certain characteristics such as having flowers with five petals and sepals, and having a specific arrangement of veins in their leaves. The plant is shown in full bloom, with its white flowers and green leaves in intricate detail. The bush lawyer is also known for its thorny stems, which resemble the branches of a lawyer, hence its common name. The plant produces small, red fruits that are edible and resemble raspberries. This beautiful watercolour painting is a testament to the remarkable observations and documentations made during Captain James Cook's historic voyage, and is a valuable addition to the record of the natural history of the Pacific region. Fred Polydore Nodder's skillful rendering of the bush lawyer captures its unique beauty and character, making it a must-have for any collection of botanical art.
