EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 154: Antiaris toxicaria, or the Ipoh Tree, is depicted in this exquisite 18th-century botanical illustration by Ferdinand Lucas Bauer. Painted in intricate detail, this artwork showcases the beauty of this flowering plant from the Moraceae family, which is native to tropical regions of the Old World. The tree is identified as Antiaris toxicaria, commonly known as the Ipoh tree due to its historical use in the production of Ipoh wood, a valuable timber. Bauer's illustration captures the tree's lush foliage and distinctive flowers. The large, green leaves are arranged alternately on the stem, while the inflorescence features small, cream-colored flowers with a pink tinge. The flowers are arranged in a panicle, with the male and female flowers appearing on separate inflorescences. As a member of the Rosales order, the Ipoh tree is an eudicot, which means it is a flowering plant with two seed leaves (cotyledons) when it germinates. It is also an angiosperm, meaning it produces enclosed seeds, and a magnoliophyte, which refers to its membership in the class of flowering plants that includes all modern flowering plants. Bauer's illustration is a testament to the meticulous work of 18th-century botanical artists, who dedicated themselves to documenting the natural world with remarkable accuracy and detail. This artwork is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, where it continues to inspire and educate researchers, students, and visitors alike.
