Plantae Selectae: No. 38

Georg Dionysius Ehret

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a botanical illustration of a flowering plant. The plant has green leaves and pink flowers. There are two views of the plant, one on the left and one on the right. The left view shows the plant with flowers and leaves. The right view shows a stem with leaves and flowers. Underneath the plant are several small illustrations of individual parts. The parts include a flower, stamens, and seeds. The background of the image is a light beige color. The image includes text at the bottom, written in a foreign language, likely Latin. The text is in a formal, cursive font. The year "1756" is printed at the bottom center. The Roman numeral "XXXVIII" is in the top-right corner. The image appears to be an old illustration, likely from a book.
