The image shows a botanical illustration of a plant with a central stem and two tall flower stalks. The plant has large green leaves with wavy edges. Two long stems rise from the center, each adorned with clusters of curved, orange-brown flowers that resemble a spiral or a curl. The flowers are yellowish at their tips and have a green center. The plant appears to be growing out of a mound of dirt and rocks. There are additional green stems and leaves around the base. A pink ribbon banner at the bottom reads "Horminum Indicum Majus" in cursive. The background is a light beige color, resembling aged paper.
