Several smaller images of various plant parts are arranged around the main plant. These include flowers, buds, seeds, and stamens. Some of the smaller images are labeled with small letters. A line of small text in a foreign language is at the bottom. A small number "52" is not visible but the numeral "LII" is in the top right corner.
