‘Scabious-like cosmus’
Botanical study of the Scabious-like cosmus, Cosmus scabiosoides. The plant is native to Mexico. The plate shows flowers and leaves, with two sectional details.
Plate 15 from Edwards’s botanical register…edited by John Lindley, new series v.1, (London, James Ridgway and Sons, 1838). The plate is inscribed ‘15’ above; and below ‘Miss Drake del. Pub by J. Ridgway, 169 Piccadilly March 1 1838. S. Watts sc.’
In the associated text, the author states that this plant was: ‘Originally found by Humboldt and Bonpland on the western slope of the mountains of Mechoacan, near Pazcuaro, at the elevation of nearly 7000 feet above the sea. The seeds from which the plant now represented was raised were imported from Mexico by George Fr. Dickson, Esq., F.H.S., and presented by that gentleman to the Horticultural Society of London, in whose garden the drawing was made last October.’"
