Les Liliacées: Ornithogalum longibracteatum

Pierre-Joseph Redouté

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a green plant with a large bulbous base and long, thin leaves extending from it. The bulb is positioned centrally and has a light brown, woody section at the top. Several long, thin, green leaves emerge from the top of the bulb, some of which curve downward. A tall stem with small white flowers and yellow centers rises from the center of the bulb. The background of the image is a light beige color. At the bottom of the image, there is cursive text in a foreign language, likely Latin, which appears to be the plant's name.
