Plantae Selectae: No. 58 - Corallodendron

The image shows a botanical illustration of a plant with a long stem, green leaves, and orange flowers. The stem is tall and thin, with a reddish tint, and has small green leaves along its length. The leaves are oval-shaped and have pointed tips. The flowers are long and curved, resembling a coral shape, and are a vibrant orange color. There are several flowers clustered together on the stem. To the left of the main stem, there are two brown seed pods, one of which is open to reveal its contents. Above the seed pods, there are several small drawings of individual plant parts. At the bottom of the page, there is text in a foreign language, likely Latin, that describes the plant. The background of the image is a light beige color, resembling aged paper. The corners of the paper are folded and worn. The image appears to be an antique illustration, possibly from the 18th century. The overall style of the illustration is detailed and realistic.
