Description

This is an image of a print of a hand coloured engraving by James Sowerby (1757-1822), based on drawing nominally by John White but probably by the convict artist Thomas Watling. It appeared as Tab. IV in James Edward Smith's 1793 A Specimen of the Botany of New Holland. The plant depicted is Banksia spinulosa (Hairpin Banksia).

The accompanying text explains the figure thus:

  1. A scale of the receptacle.
  2. A flower unexpanded.
  3. The same expanded
  4. Stigma
  5. Tip of a petal magnified, shewing one of the stamina in its natural situation.
  6. Stamen separate.
