EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolour painting depicts Dictamnus fraxinella, commonly known as the Gas Plant or Burning-Bush, a fascinating flowering plant in the Rutaceae family. Painted in the early 20th century by the skilled botanical artist Arthur Harry Church, this beautiful illustration is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. The Dictamnus fraxinella is a small shrub native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. It is characterized by its pink, fragrant flowers that bloom in late spring and early summer. The plant's common name derives from its ability to produce a volatile oil that gives off a gas when the leaves are crushed or burned, which emits a strong, unpleasant odor. As a member of the Angiospermae, Dicotyledonae, Eudicotyledonae, Sapindales, Rosids, Malvidae, and Aurantiaceae, the Gas Plant is a complex organism with many intricate features. The plant's pink flowers are composed of four petals, four sepals, numerous stamens, and a pistil with a superior ovary. This stunning watercolour painting by Arthur Harry Church captures the delicate beauty and intricacy of the Gas Plant's flowers in pastel hues. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the precise rendering of the petals, sepals, and veining on the leaves. The use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the illustration, making it a true work of art. This botanical illustration provides a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the natural world and the artistic skill of the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
