"Boorong Seliah, Lagerstroesnia indica, from 'Drawings of Birds from Malacca', c.1805-18" is a historical artwork attributed to an anonymous artist, part of a collection of illustrations that depict the avian life in the Malacca region of Malaysia during the early 19th century. The drawing is significant for its portrayal of the natural history of the region during the colonial period and provides insight into the biodiversity that existed at the time. The artwork features the Boorong Seliah, a local name possibly referring to a bird species, alongside the Lagerstroesnia indica, which is likely a reference to the botanical species Lagerstroemia indica, commonly known as the crape myrtle. This plant is native to East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Indian Subcontinent, and it is known for its beautiful flowers and use in traditional medicine.

The drawing is part of a larger collection that serves as a valuable resource for ornithologists, historians, and art enthusiasts interested in the intersection of natural history and art. The collection is noted for its detailed representation of the subjects and provides a window into the artistic conventions and scientific understanding of the time. The anonymity of the artist adds a layer of mystery to the work, inviting speculation about the identity and background of the illustrator who captured the rich natural heritage of Malacca in the early 1800s.
