Tillandsia Lingulata — Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin

Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin’s Tillandsia lingulata is a richly composed botanical study centered on a brilliant scarlet flower head. Layered red bracts surround a compact golden-yellow center, rising above broad, arching leaves rendered in muted olive, ochre, and yellow-green. The intense flower color creates a striking contrast with the restrained foliage below.

The plant is shown attached to a textured wooden support, with pale aerial roots spreading visibly across the dark grain. This unusual setting gives the botanical specimen depth and structure while preserving the precise observational character of eighteenth-century natural-history illustration. Historically identified as Tillandsia lingulata, the plant is now classified as Guzmania lingulata.
