Botanical Illustration of Plant Stem with Leaves and Bud - Vintage Scientific Drawing #2148815 (License: Personal Use)

This monochrome line illustration depicts a vertical plant stem with alternating, ovate leaves featuring prominent venation and serrated margins. At the apex, a developing flower bud emerges from a bract, while stipules or sheathing leaf bases wrap around the stem at lower nodes. The fine cross-hatching technique conveys texture, depth, and anatomical precision typical of pre-photographic botanical documentation.
