Nama rothrockii Details Illustration Plate

Description:

A black and white digital illustration plate of Rothrock’s Fiddleleaf (Nama rothrockii) containing spot illustrations of an inflorescence with sepals and flowers, two different angles of a seed, a lateral view of a mature fruiting body, a lateral view of a flower with sepals intact, and a lateral view of a flower dissected so that the corolla and sepals are removed to reveal the pistils, ovary, and stamen.

This is one of a pair of illustration plates of Rothrock’s Fiddleleaf. Click here to see the other illustration plate.

This illustration plate was created for the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden as part of my work as their 2023 Science Illustration Fellow. For this project, as well as the other two I completed during my time working for the botanic garden, I worked with members of the research team to create illustrations intended for use in published research papers and in public education.
