Plantae Selectae: No. 29 - American May Apple

Christopher Jacob Trew

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a detailed botanical illustration of a plant. The plant has a brown root system with many thin branches. A green stem rises from the roots, with two large green leaves at the top resembling an umbrella. Three white flowers are shown: one on the stem, and two dislodged. To the right of the stem are four seed pods in various stages, and three seeds. The background of the illustration is a light beige color with darker edges. The text at the bottom is in a foreign language, likely Latin, and appears to be a description of the plant. The Roman numeral "XXIX" is in the top-right corner.
