Black and white circular drawing of a cluster of plants with leaves and stems on a grey background. The plants fill the bottom half of the circle. The leaves vary in shape and size with some pointed and others rounded. Stems with leaves extend from the center and right side of the cluster. Short grasses are in the foreground. The drawing has a textured appearance.
