Title: "Serapicamptis Triloba: A Delicate Beauty from the German Flora" The captivating image before you showcases the enchanting Serapicamptis triloba, also known as Serapias triloba, an exquisite orchid species. This stunning botanical illustration is a handcoloured lithograph, meticulously created for Diederich von Schlechtendal's renowned publication, "Flora von Deutschland" or "German Flora," published in Jena, Germany, in 1871. Serapicamptis triloba, a member of the Orchidaceae family, is native to Europe and the Mediterranean region. Its common names include the Three-lobed Serapias or the Three-lobed Tongue Orchid, due to its distinctive three-lobed labellum, which is depicted in intricate detail in this beautiful lithograph.

It blooms in late spring, producing delicate, nodding flowers that range in color from white to pink, with purple veins and a distinctive yellow-green stripe on the labellum. This handcoloured lithograph is a testament to the intricate beauty and detail of the natural world, as captured by the skilled artists and botanists of the time. The delicate shading and precise lines bring the Serapicamptis triloba to life, allowing us to appreciate its unique features and charm.
