Description

original-colour lithograph. Botanical print from “Curtis’s Botanical Magazine; or Flower Garden Displayed: Vol. 8 of the New Series; or Vol. 61 of the Whole Work, pl. 3351. Sir William Jackson Hooker (1785-1865) was an English botanist and botanical illustrator, who became the first director of Kew when in 1841 it was recommended to be placed under state ownership as a botanic garden. At Kew he founded the Herbarium and enlarged the gardens and arboretum. The standard author abbreviation Hook. is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name. Morinda jasminoides, known as the sweet morinda or jasmine morinda, is a common climber growing in eucalyptus forests and rainforests of eastern Australia. There is a record of this plant in the far north of Western Australia. Sweet morinda is a small plant in the forest understorey. The orange fruit is edible but unpalatable to humans.
