Plantae Selectae: No. 42 - Pulmonaria

Georg Dionysius Ehret

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a botanical illustration of a plant with a green stem and large oval-shaped leaves. The leaves are green, some have visible veins, and they vary in size. The plant has blue flowers with pink interiors and five petals that flare out like a bell. The flowers are arranged in clusters on the top part of the stem. There are also smaller illustrations of individual plant parts to the lower right of the main plant. The background of the image is a light beige color with darker beige edges. The image includes text in a foreign language, likely Latin, at the bottom. The number "XLII" is printed in the upper right corner.
