EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 2 from Delineation of Exotic Plants Cultivated in the Royal Garden at Kew, featuring Paeonia suffruticosa, or the Tree Peony, is a stunning 18th century botanical illustration by Franz Andreas Bauer. This exquisite drawing, held in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, showcases the beauty and intricacy of this magnificent flowering plant. The Tree Peony, a member of the Paeoniaceae family and the order Saxifragales, is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. As a eudicot, it is further characterized by having two embryonic seed leaves (cotyledons) and belonging to the clade Angiospermae, which includes all flowering plants. Bauer's illustration captures the essence of the Tree Peony's grandeur, with its large, lush pink flowers adorned with intricate veining and delicate stamens. The plant itself is depicted as a potted specimen, its woody stem and foliage detailed with precision. The Tree Peony is native to China and was introduced to Europe in the late 17th century, becoming a prized addition to the Royal Garden at Kew. This illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific rigor of the 18th century botanical community, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the enduring beauty of the natural world.
