"Botanical: Leucoium Flore Rubro Pleno" is an illustration by Basilius Besler, a respected German apothecary, botanist, and curator of the garden of the Bishop of Eichstätt in Bavaria. This work is part of Besler's monumental horticultural opus, "Hortus Eystettensis" (The Garden of Eichstätt), which was first published in 1613. The "Hortus Eystettensis" is a codex of botanical illustrations and is considered one of the earliest and most significant botanical works from the period, documenting the extensive collection of plants in the bishop's garden, which was one of the first large European botanical gardens.

The illustration "Leucoium Flore Rubro Pleno" depicts a double-flowered red variety of the plant commonly known as the snowflake (Leucojum sp.), which is related to the snowdrop. Besler's work is renowned for its accuracy and attention to detail, capturing the intricate beauty of the plants he studied. Each plate in the "Hortus Eystettensis" is a copper engraving with hand coloring, a process that was both time-consuming and expensive, reflecting the luxury status of the book during the period it was produced.

Besler's illustrations, including "Leucoium Flore Rubro Pleno," are not only significant for their artistic merit but also for their contribution to the scientific knowledge of the time. They provided a visual record of botanical diversity and served as a reference for scholars, gardeners, and naturalists. Today, these illustrations are valuable historical documents that offer insight into the botanical knowledge and aesthetic preferences of the early 17th century, as well as the evolution of botanical illustration as a discipline.
