This exquisite illustration of Bombax pentandrum, commonly known as the Silk Cotton Tree or Bombax tree, is a beautiful representation of this magnificent flowering plant. Created by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn in the late 19th century, this illustration is held at the Natural History Museum in London. Bombax pentandrum is a large tree that belongs to the Malvaceae family, which also includes the cotton plant (Gossypium). The tree is native to tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The tree is named for its silky fibers that cover the seeds and resemble cotton. The tree produces large, showy, pentamerous flowers that bloom before the leaves emerge. The flowers are typically pink or red in color and have a distinctive five-lobed shape. The tree is an eudicot, which means it is a type of flowering plant that has two seed leaves (cotyledons) and belongs to the superorder Rosids. The Bombax tree is an important source of fiber, which has been used for various purposes throughout history. The fibers have been used for making textiles, ropes, and even paper. The tree also has medicinal properties and has been used to treat various ailments, including fever, dysentery, and diarrhea. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was a renowned botanical illustrator of the 19th century. She was known for her meticulous attention to detail and her ability to capture the beauty and intricacy of plants in her illustrations. This illustration of Bombax pentandrum is a testament to her skill and dedication to the art of botanical illustration.
