Euphorbia Tithymaloides — Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin

This eighteenth-century botanical plate presents Euphorbia Tithymaloides through a striking arrangement of substantial green foliage and vivid red flowers. Thick curving stems carry broad oval leaves in varied shades of green, each defined by prominent dark midribs and an intricate network of branching veins.

A separate flowering stem on the right isolates the plant's distinctive reproductive structures. Brilliant scarlet-red tubular flowers emerge near its tip, accompanied by delicate projecting filaments and subtle golden details. Against the warm cream ground, the contrast between saturated red and layered green gives the composition an unusually bold botanical presence.
