EDITORS COMMENTS
Amorphophallus eichleri, also known as the Voodoo Lily, is a fascinating and enigmatic plant native to the western tropical regions of Africa. This botanical illustration, hand-drawn by Matilda Smith and expertly lithographed by John Nugent Fitch, was published in the prestigious Curtis Botanical Magazine in 1889 by L. Reeve & Co. The Amorphophallus eichleri is renowned for its distinctive and peculiar appearance. The plant produces a large, pungent inflorescence that resembles a giant, stinky foot. This bizarre feature is a clever adaptation to attract pollinators, specifically flies and beetles, which are drawn to the foul odor. The hand-coloured illustration showcases the intricate details of the Voodoo Lily's unique features. The large, fleshy spathe, which resembles a foot, is adorned with veins and textures that add to its lifelike appearance. The spadix, a structure that houses the flowers, is depicted in cross-section, revealing the intricate arrangement of the tiny, male and female flowers. Matilda Smith was a skilled botanical illustrator, known for her meticulous attention to detail and her ability to bring the natural world to life through her art. John Nugent Fitch's lithography process allowed for the intricacies of Smith's illustrations to be faithfully reproduced, making this image a valuable addition to any botanical collection. This historical illustration provides a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of botanical discovery and exploration during the late 19th century. The Amorphophallus eichleri remains a fascinating and intriguing plant, and this beautiful illustration serves as a testament to its unique beauty and importance in the natural world.
