EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite drawing by Arthur Harry Church, dated 1906, showcases the enchanting beauty of Reseda odorata, commonly known as garden mignonette. The pink-hued flowers of this flowering plant are depicted in all their splendor, unfurling delicately from long, slender stems. The intricate details of the petals, veins, and stamens are captured with remarkable precision, providing a window into the botanical wonders of the Victorian era. Reseda odorata is an angiosperm, belonging to the Eudicot clade, specifically the Rosid subclass. It is a member of the Resedaceae family, which includes a diverse range of flowering plants. This particular species is native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, and was widely cultivated during the 19th century for its fragrant flowers. The drawing also reveals the plant's anatomical features, such as its dicotyledonous nature, with two seed leaves visible at the base of the stem. The long, narrow leaves are characteristic of the Malvidae order, to which Reseda odorata belongs, and the plant's brassicales alignment is evident in the arrangement of its flowers. Arthur Harry Church's illustration serves as a testament to the captivating allure of Reseda odorata and the intricate beauty of the natural world, which continues to inspire artists and scientists alike. The drawing is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, a treasure trove of botanical knowledge from the Victorian and 19th centuries.
