What genus are you?

Ah yes, installment no. 3 of my favorite series - What genus are you?. This set is from a lovely book of botany drawings from a three year voyage to the Antarctic. They set sail in 1844 and returned home in 1847, and I have to say - they sure did see a lot of pretty things during their time away!! Enough for me to break up the drawings into two posts! And no, I'm not giving up any links to the book yet! You'll have to wait until tomorrow (maybe?) to see the book in its entirety!

Oh, and those of you with some time on your hands - you really should click on the picture and view it large through my flickr stream - there's so many beautiful details in each one that get lost at a smaller resolution size!
