Image description: Illustration of a single Camellia flower with a fully bloomed, layered pink blossom atop a slender brown stem. Three dark green, glossy leaves with visible veins extend from the stem. The illustration is detailed and delicate, set against a plain white background. The text below the image reads “Camellia Roseina.” This vintage botanical drawing emphasizes the flower’s intricate petals and leaf texture, highlighting Camellia’s elegance. The image comes from the 1841-1843 Paris publication “Iconographie du genre Camellia,” unrelated to the animal “camel,” instead depicting the Camellia plant genus.
