Magic Lantern Slide: Flower of Macroplectrum sesquipedale to show the great length of the nectary spur
Alfred Rowden was a keen amateur photographer and natural historian in Exeter. He often gave talks at local field clubs, illustrated with magic lantern slides that he created or purchased from commercial manufacturers. The hand-written title on the slide binding shows it belonged to Ralph Morgan, another keen Exeter naturalist.
