Batis maritima — Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin

This late 18th-century botanical study presents Batis maritima as a slender upright specimen surrounded by an expansive cream field. Small fleshy leaves rise along a warm brown stem, shifting through olive, yellow-green, and pale green tones, while spotted lower structures introduce restrained reddish details.

The unusually open composition gives close attention to the plant's compact form. A small botanical detail is shown separately beside the stem, while the original handwritten name and plate number preserve the archival character of the illustration.
