Plate 26: Purple Thunbergia, an exquisite illustration of the beautiful and vibrant Purple Thunbergia flower, as depicted in the nineteenth century by the skilled hand of Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn. This stunning botanical drawing, created in the year 1829, is held at the esteemed Natural History Museum in London. The Purple Thunbergia, a member of the Acanthaceae family and the order Lamiales, is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. As a dicot, it belongs to the eudicot clade, which includes flowering plants with two seed leaves and two cotyledons. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn, born in 1829, was a talented botanical artist of the Victorian era. Her meticulous attention to detail and artistic flair are evident in this illustration, which showcases the intricate structure of the Purple Thunbergia's petals, sepals, and stamens. The rich, deep purple hue of the flower adds an alluring and captivating quality to the drawing. The Purple Thunbergia, also known as the Black-eyed Susan or the Blue-eyed Thunbergia, is native to tropical Africa and is renowned for its striking appearance. The plant's trumpet-shaped flowers bloom in clusters and attract various pollinators, contributing to the plant's successful propagation. This illustration serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, as well as the artistic prowess of the Victorian era's botanical illustrators. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the Purple Thunbergia to life, allowing us to appreciate its unique characteristics and enchanting allure.
