Duranta Ellisia — Blue Flower Botanical Study

This elegant eighteenth-century botanical plate depicts Duranta Ellisia as a slender upright branch crowned with delicate sprays of blue flowers. Golden-olive leaves rise along the fine brown stem, while lavender buds and small floral structures gather around the upper branches against an expansive warm cream ground.

The contrast between cool blue blossoms and muted ochre foliage gives the specimen a particularly refined character. Separate botanical details below the branch include a small pointed structure and a cluster of rounded orange-red berries. From Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin's Selectarum Stirpium Americanarum Historia, the plate combines careful natural-history observation with the graceful clarity of eighteenth-century botanical illustration.
