EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 87 from the John Reeves Collection of Botanical Drawings from Canton, China, housed in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, showcases an exquisite Camellia cv in full bloom. This nineteenth-century illustration, created during the height of the Qing Dynasty, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich botanical heritage of China. John Reeves (1774-1856), a British merchant and botanical artist, meticulously documented the diverse flora of Canton, China, between 1812 and 1815. His detailed and accurate drawings were later published in the seminal work "Illustrations of Chinese Objects," which significantly contributed to the Western understanding of Chinese botany. The featured Camellia cv is a cultivar of the Camellia genus, belonging to the Theaceae family, and is commonly known as the Camellia or Tea Rose. This Eudicot, Angiosperm, and Dicotyledonous flowering plant is native to Asia, specifically in southern China and Japan. The Camellia is an essential member of the Magnoliophyta division, which includes flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed in an ovary. The Camellia cv in this illustration boasts vibrant red flowers, a striking contrast to the lush green foliage. The Camellia is renowned for its ornamental value, with numerous cultivars prized for their beautiful flowers and attractive shrubs. The genus Camellia is further classified under the order Ericales, the asterid clade, and the family Camellieae. This botanical illustration not only serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of John Reeves but also provides an invaluable record of the rich biodiversity of China during the 19th century.
