EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolour painting depicts the Sticky Tailflower, or Anthocercis viscosa, a native shrub from Australia and New Zealand. Painted by the renowned Austrian botanical artist Ferdinand Bauer in the late 18th century, this work of art showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors of this fascinating plant. Anthocercis viscosa is a member of the Solanaceae family, also known as the nightshade family, and is characterized by its sticky, viscous leaves and bright yellow flowers. This eudicotyledonous angiosperm, belonging to the order Solanales and the subclass Rosids, is an important part of the Asterid clade within the larger grouping of Magnoliophyta, or flowering plants. Bauer's masterful illustration, Plate 109 from his extensive body of botanical work, captures the beauty and intricacy of the Sticky Tailflower in exquisite detail. The painting highlights the plant's unique features, such as its sticky leaves and the delicate structure of its flowers. The rich, vibrant colors bring the plant to life, making it a captivating addition to any botanical collection. Ferdinand Bauer's work was instrumental in advancing the field of botanical illustration during the Age of Discovery, as European explorers and naturalists sought to document the diverse plant life they encountered in the New World and beyond. This Sticky Tailflower watercolour is a testament to Bauer's skill and dedication to accurately recording the natural world, providing a valuable record of this intriguing plant for future generations to appreciate and study.
