Plantae Selectae: No. 50 - Ficus

Georg Dionysius Ehret

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a botanical illustration of a plant with a central stem and several green leaves. The leaves are oval-shaped with pointed tips and visible veins. The stem is gray with a reddish-brown section near the top. Three red fruits are attached to the stem. Below the stem are two cross-sections of the fruit, one red and one cut open to show the interior. The background of the illustration is off-white with a rough texture. The illustration includes a block of text at the bottom written in Latin. The illustration is labeled with a title in large font. The illustration appears to be on aged paper with worn and torn edges.
