Excerpt from Paxton's Magazine of Botany, and Register of Flowering Plants, 1843, Vol. 10

It is, indeed, suggested by some of our friends, that they are occasionally too beautiful; and that the plants they represent are not ordinarily so handsome as they are here depicted. Such a view, however, is a mistaken one: it arises from a rule which we adopt in the choice of subjects for our drawings, and which is, to have them prepared, whenever practicable.
