Each bloom has been carefully illustrated to capture their unique beauty: from Fiji's legendary Tagimoucia with its striking red and white petals, to the ancient Masiratu's star-shaped wonder, the fragrant Senitoa and sacred Tiare of Polynesia, the sweetly-scented Gadi, the delicately fringed Marasa, and the distinctive Vesida.

If you’re interested in artworks of Fijian flowers and plants and their names, this is for you. This botanical bookmark brings a piece of Pacific paradise to your daily reading, celebrating flowers that have been cherished for generations in ceremony, medicine, and adornment throughout the islands. Printed on premium cardstock with a protective gloss finish to preserve these botanical treasures for years of reading enjoyment.

Masiratu

Step into ancient Fiji with this botanical illustration of Masiratu, one of the world's rarest and most fascinating flowering plants. Endemic to Fiji's lush forests, the masiratu features distinctive elliptical leaves and produces unique star-shaped flowers followed by kidney-shaped fruits, all beautifully captured in this illustration by Elsie Andrewes and published by Rarama Ink.

Found only in Fiji's dense rainforests, particularly on the islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, this remarkable tree stands as a testament to Fiji's incredible biodiversity and evolutionary history.

Perfect for botanists, cultural enthusiasts, or anyone seeking to add a piece of Fijian heritage to their space. If you’re interested in artworks of Fijian flowers and plants and their names, this is for you.

Did you know? The masiratu is so ancient and unique that scientists created an entire family (Degeneriaceae) just to classify it, marking it as one of Fiji's most significant botanical treasures.
