Platycercus adelaidae, commonly known as the Adelaide rosella, is a bird species featured in John Gould's seminal work "The Birds of Australia." Gould, an English ornithologist and bird artist, published this comprehensive seven-volume set between 1840 and 1848. The Adelaide rosella is a subspecies of the crimson rosella, a parrot native to southeastern Australia. In Gould's work, the Adelaide rosella is depicted and described in detail, reflecting the scientific knowledge and artistic conventions of the mid-19th century.

The Adelaide rosella is distinguished by its unique coloration, which includes a blend of red, blue, and yellow feathers. It is endemic to the Adelaide region and nearby areas in South Australia. Gould's illustration and description of Platycercus adelaidae contributed to the early scientific understanding of Australian avifauna and provided a basis for further ornithological study and conservation efforts.

Gould's "The Birds of Australia" is considered a monumental achievement in natural history illustration and taxonomy, as it was the first comprehensive survey of the birds of Australia, many of which were unknown to science at the time. His work remains a valuable historical record and continues to be referenced by ornithologists, bird enthusiasts, and conservationists. The Adelaide rosella, as part of this collection, exemplifies the rich biodiversity of Australia and Gould's dedication to documenting it.
