Arum hederaceum — Nicolaus Joseph von Jacquin

This late-eighteenth-century botanical plate presents Arum hederaceum through a carefully arranged study of foliage, stem, and flowering structure. A pale branching stem carries a cluster of heart-shaped leaves whose finely drawn veins spread across golden yellow, olive, and deep brown surfaces. Below, an isolated yellow spathe provides a second focal point against the warm cream ground.

The illustration is associated with Austrian botanist Nicolaus Joseph von Jacquin and appears as plate 230 in the 1780–81 edition of Selectarum stirpium Americanarum historia. The combination of precise botanical observation, restrained coloring, and generous open space gives the plate an elegant graphic character while retaining the visual qualities of an eighteenth-century scientific illustration.
