This print is part of a series first published in 1921 featuring plants native to South Africa. The series was modeled after Curtis's Botanical Magazine, and the objective as noted by the Editors "is to convey to the reader the beauty and variety of form of the African flora, to stimulate interest in the study, conservation and cultivation of African plants and to advance the science of botany as well as botanical art".
