treme caution will berequisite to preserve them from excision by moisture till they have recovered fromthe effects of being dissevered from the parent plant, and commenced growing. Its native country is Sylhet, in India, where it was first discovered upontrees by Dr. Wallich, superintendant of the Calcutta Botanic Garden; it has sincebeen found by Mr. William Griffith, near Medown, in the Burmese empire; andwe have plants of it at Chatsworth, which were brought home by His Grace theDuke of Devonshues collector, in 1837, having been found by him near Pondooah,at the base of the Khoseea hills. For the drawing of this splendid plant we are obliged to J. Bateman, Esq., ofKnypersly Hall, Cheshire, in whose excellent collection it flowered in the earlypart of the present season, and our artist was at the same time engaged in figuringa specimen at Messrs. Loddiges, Hackney, who alone, as far as we are aware^possess saleable plants. The geneiic name is the Hindoo term of the original species.

This large AI-assisted collection comprises about 60,000 images of botanical drawings and illustrations. It spans from the 14th to 19th century. As of today, we estimate the total number of botanical illustrations in our archive as 200,000 and growing. The "golden age" of botanical illustration is generally considered to be the 18th and 19th centuries, a time when there was a great deal of interest in botany and a proliferation of botanical illustrations being produced. During this period, many of the great botanical illustrators of the time, such as Maria Sybilla Merian, Pierre-Joseph Redouté, and John James Audubon, were active and produced some of the most iconic and influential botanical illustrations of all time. In addition to being used for scientific purposes, botanical illustrations were also highly prized for their beauty and were often used to decorate homes and other public spaces. Many of the most famous botanical illustrations from this period are still admired and collected today for their beauty and historical significance. All large Picryl collections were made possible with the development of neural image recognition. We made our best to reduce false-positive image recognition to under 5%.
