The resulting collection of paintings captures eighteen of these palms in their natural habitats and forms, highlighting the diversity and beauty of both the palms and the environments in which they grow. PALMS4s(3): 127-135 127 PALMS Smith: Leafletby Leaflet Volume45(3) 200'l Images of palms in Australian art history The palms of Australia were painted and drawn for many purposesin the last two centuries.They appear in drawings for the description of new species,as elements in the painted landscape,and are also mentioned in the accounts of European exploration and settlement of the country. The palms that were most often mentioned and illustratedby early Europeanexplorers and settlers in Australia, from the 18th century onwards, were from the genera Livistona, Archontophoenix and Ptychosperma.Beginning with Joseph Banks' first observations of the Australian vegetation in 1 788 (in fact the only plant to which he could attribute a name), many accounts by early settlers and explorers "cabbage contained referencesto the palm." The cabbagepalm in question, Livistonaaustralis, indeed once grew quite extensively around Botany Bay, site of the first European landing, and Sydney Harbor, site of the first fleets of settlers.Those people keeping accountsof settlement were mostly interested in the palms' immedlate and potential practical usesin providing food and construction material.
