A detailed botanical copperplate engraving spanning two pages. On the left side, a branch of a plant is shown in full bloom with large, lanceolate leaves and dense clusters of small, five-petaled flowers (cymes). Below the main branch are anatomical details of the flower, including a single flower, a stamen, and a cross-section of the fruit and seed. On the right side, the illustration continues showing the fruiting stage of the same plant, with small spherical berries hanging from pedicels. The plant depicted is likely from the Hortus Malabaricus series.
