Mrs. Telfair's Hibiscus, Hibiscus telfairiae (Mrs. Telfairs hibiscus, Hibiscus telfairiae (hybrid variety)): A Vibrant Victorian Garden Flower This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by S. Nevitt after a botanical illustration by Mills, showcases the captivating beauty of Mrs. Telfair's Hibiscus, Hibiscus telfairiae. The image, published in Benjamin Maund and the Rev. John Stevens Henslow's esteemed botanical publication, The Botanist, in London, 1836, offers a glimpse into the rich and diverse world of Victorian-era botany. Mrs. Telfair's Hibiscus, also known as the Telfair's Rose Mallow, is a hybrid variety of the hibiscus plant, native to West Africa.

This exquisite botanical illustration serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world, as well as the beauty and artistry that can be found in even the smallest details of nature.
