Plantae Selectae: No. 5 - Anona

Georg Dionysius Ehret

Cleveland Museum of Art

A botanical illustration of a plant with a thin brown branch extending from the bottom-right to the center, bearing four large oval-shaped leaves in various green hues. Three leaves have prominent veins and pointed tips, while one leaf near the center is partially torn. A small cluster of white flowers with yellow centers and thin petals is attached to the branch near the center. Two oval-shaped fruits with smooth, light green skin are attached to the branch on the right side. Below the branch, a small plate displays a cut-open fruit revealing several dark brown seeds inside, and a single seed lies to the left. The background features a beige paper texture with darker edges. Small black cursive writing is positioned at the bottom, and small black print appears at the top right.
