EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print showcases a magnificent specimen of Ipomoea quamoclit, commonly known as the Cardinal Creeper or Scarlet Bindweed, from the personal herbarium of George Clifford during the 18th century. The intricately detailed illustration captures the essence of this beautiful flowering plant, which is a member of the Convolvulaceae family and the Solanales order. The Cardinal Creeper is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. It is a dicot, meaning it has two seed leaves, and is an eudicot, which means it has specialized organs for pollen production and seed dispersal. The plant is also an asterid, which is a large group of flowering plants within the asterids clade of the asterids superorder. The Cardinal Creeper is native to Central and South America but has become naturalized in many parts of the world. It is known for its climbing habit and its vibrant, scarlet-red flowers, which bloom in the morning and wilt by afternoon. The plant is also commonly referred to as bindweed or morning glory. This historical specimen of the Cardinal Creeper is a precious treasure from the past, offering a glimpse into the natural world of the 18th century. The print, which features the plant carefully pressed and arranged in a decorative vase, is a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the natural world and the importance of documenting it for future generations. George Clifford, the owner of this herbarium, was an avid collector and explorer of natural wonders during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. His collection, which includes this specimen of the Cardinal Creeper, is a valuable resource for botanical research and a reminder of the rich natural heritage of the past.
