EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 1160 from the Fleming Indian Drawings Collection presents a captivating illustration of Nymphaea rubra, commonly known as the Red Indian Water Lily. This beautiful water lily is a native to the Indian subcontinent and is a member of the Nymphaeaceae family, which is part of the larger monocotyledonous order Nymphaales. The intricately detailed botanical drawing showcases the vibrant red coloration of the water lily's pad and the large, radiant red flowers that bloom atop its stems. The Red Indian Water Lily is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. It is a monocot, meaning it has one cotyledon in its seeds, and is further classified as a monocotyledonous magnoliophyte, a group of flowering plants characterized by their flower structure and seed development. This stunning botanical illustration was created during the nineteenth century by Dr. John Fleming, a renowned botanist and artist. Dr. Fleming was known for his extensive work in documenting the flora of India, and this drawing is a testament to his meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill. The Red Indian Water Lily drawing is a valuable addition to the Fleming Indian Drawings Collection held in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. The Red Indian Water Lily is not only a visual delight but also plays an essential role in its aquatic ecosystem. Its large pads provide a platform for various organisms to live and breed, contributing to the biodiversity of freshwater habitats. This illustration not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also as an important record of the natural world, showcasing the beauty and complexity of the Red Indian Water Lily and its role in the natural world.
