Gesneria zebrina (later Gloxinia zebrina, now in the Sinningia group. Plate 3633

A striking botanical study of Gesneria zebrina, rendered in the refined lithographic style of Curtis's Botanical Magazine circa 1835–1840. The composition captures the plant's architectural appeal: broad, velvety dark-green leaves with pale silvery veining arranged in a sculptural rosette, crowned by tubular red-orange flowers that rise gracefully above the foliage. The blooms cluster in an upright formation, each flower flaring delicately at the tip, creating a luminous contrast against the deep green foliage. The clean, precise linework and subtle tonal gradations exemplify the botanical illustration mastery of the period. A museum-quality print for collectors of authentic horticultural art and vintage botanical documentation.
