Aristolochia Rotunda, featured in the renowned botanical work "Hortus Eystettensis" by Basilius Besler, represents a significant contribution to the field of botanical illustration and plant taxonomy in the early 17th century. "Hortus Eystettensis," published in 1613, is a monumental florilegium that documents the extensive plant collection of the garden of the Prince-Bishop of Eichstätt, Johann Konrad von Gemmingen. This work is celebrated for its detailed and scientifically accurate depictions of a wide variety of plants, many of which were exotic and rare in Europe at the time.

Aristolochia Rotunda, commonly known as round-leaved birthwort, is one of the many species meticulously illustrated in this volume. The plant is notable for its distinctive round leaves and unique flower structure, which have been captured with remarkable precision and artistry by Besler and his team of illustrators. The inclusion of Aristolochia Rotunda in "Hortus Eystettensis" underscores the botanical diversity and the horticultural achievements of the garden it documents.

Basilius Besler, a Nuremberg apothecary and botanist, was commissioned to create this comprehensive work, which took sixteen years to complete. The illustrations in "Hortus Eystettensis" are not only scientifically valuable but also aesthetically pleasing, combining artistic beauty with botanical accuracy. Each plant is depicted in various stages of growth, providing a dynamic and holistic view of its life cycle.

The publication of "Hortus Eystettensis" marked a significant advancement in botanical literature, influencing subsequent works in the field and serving as a reference for botanists, horticulturists, and artists alike. The detailed portrayal of Aristolochia Rotunda within this context highlights the plant's botanical characteristics and its place within the broader spectrum of plant species documented in the early modern period.
