Plate 275 Liriodendron tulipifera (Common Tulip-Tree)
1803. The Botanical Magazine; or Flower-Garden Displayed, is an illustrated publication which began in 1787. The longest running botanical magazine, it is widely referred to by the subsequent name Curtis's Botanical Magazine. The first issue, published on 1 February 1787, was begun by William Curtis, as both an illustrated gardening and botanical journal. When Curtis died, having completed 13 volumes (1787–1800), his friend John Sims became editor between 1801 and 1826 (Volumes 14–53) and changed the name. William Hooker was the editor from 1827, bringing to it his experience as a botanist, and as author of the rival magazine, Exotic Botany. W. J. Hooker brought the artist Walter Hood Fitch to the magazine, this artist became the magazines principal artist for forty years. Liriodendron tulipifera—known as the tulip tree, American tulip tree, tulipwood, tuliptree, tulip poplar, whitewood, fiddletree, lynn-tree, hickory-poplar, and yellow-poplar—is the North American representative of the two-species genus Liriodendron.
