"Balaustia, Prunus Myrobalanus Rotundus, Mala Armeniaca; Lilium Purpureum, Scapus Cum Bulbo" is a botanical illustration by Basilius Besler, a respected German apothecary and botanist of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Besler is best known for his monumental work, "Hortus Eystettensis" (The Garden of Eichstätt), which is a codex of the plants in the garden of the Prince-Bishop of Eichstätt in Bavaria. This particular illustration is one of the many detailed plates from the Hortus Eystettensis, which was first published in 1613.

The illustration features a collection of plant species, each meticulously depicted with scientific precision and artistic finesse. "Balaustia" refers to the pomegranate flower, "Prunus Myrobalanus Rotundus" to a type of plum, and "Mala Armeniaca" to apricots, while "Lilium Purpureum, Scapus Cum Bulbo" describes a purple lily with its stem and bulb. Besler's work is significant for its combination of botanical accuracy and aesthetic appeal, making it a valuable resource for both botanists and art historians.

The Hortus Eystettensis was groundbreaking for its time, as it was one of the first botanical books to be organized according to the four seasons, reflecting the layout of the garden itself. Besler's illustrations are notable for their life-size depictions and the inclusion of the roots and soil, providing a complete representation of each plant. The publication of this work marked a significant contribution to the field of botany, as it predated the Linnaean system of classification and provided one of the most comprehensive records of botanical diversity available at the time.

As an important historical document, "Balaustia, Prunus Myrobalanus Rotundus, Mala Armeniaca; Lilium Purpureum, Scapus Cum Bulbo" and the Hortus Eystettensis as a whole continue to be studied and admired for their scientific value and their role in the history of botanical illustration.
