This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the captivating foliage of Cochliostema odoratissimum, also known as Cochliostema jacobianum. Originating from the enchanting landscapes of Ecuador, this foliage plant is a true botanical marvel. The image is taken from the esteemed horticultural publication "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," produced by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium, in 1870. The lush, vibrant foliage of Cochliostema odoratissimum is depicted in stunning detail, with each vein and texture rendered with meticulous precision. The rich, verdant hue of the leaves contrasts beautifully with the delicate, almost translucent veins that crisscross their surface. The intricate patterns and undulating edges of the leaves add to the plant's allure, making it a must-have for any serious botanical collector or enthusiast. The handcolouring technique used in this chromolithograph adds an extra layer of depth and beauty to the illustration. Each colour is applied by hand, resulting in a rich, saturated palette that brings the plant to life. The skillful use of colour enhances the natural beauty of the foliage, making this a truly breathtaking addition to any botanical collection. Cochliostema odoratissimum is a rare and exotic plant, making this illustration a valuable and intriguing addition to any botanical library or display.
