Capraria Biflora — Wild Tea Botanical Study

This refined eighteenth-century botanical plate depicts Capraria biflora, presenting a slender branching specimen with sharply serrated foliage and delicate white flowers. Olive, ochre, and golden-brown leaves are arranged around a warm reddish stem, creating a restrained natural palette against the expansive cream ground.

A separate enlarged leaf study appears beside the flowering specimen, revealing the plant’s lance-shaped form, serrated margin, and prominent branching venation. Fine botanical linework, subtle variations in the foliage, and generous negative space give the composition an elegant balance between scientific observation and decorative natural-history art.
