Hou-pu Houpu Magnolia officinalis

A traditional Chinese woodblock botanical illustration of the Houpu plant. The drawing depicts a central vertical stalk rising from a thickened, textured trunk or root section. The stalk features three distinct levels of foliage: a lower pair of small leaves, a middle whorl of four larger ovate leaves, and a terminal cluster of several leaves at the top that form a tight, bud-like arrangement.
