First published in "Paxton's Magazine of Botany," the artwork highlights the delicate beauty of Thunia alba with the meticulous detail typical of botanical illustrations from this period. Native to Southeast Asia, Thunia alba is known for its elegant, white flowers that are strikingly beautiful and fragrant.
