"Horn Plantain" is a watercolor painting by John White, an English artist, cartographer, and colonist who was active in the late 16th century. White is renowned for his detailed depictions of the landscapes, peoples, and flora and fauna of the New World, particularly the area around the Roanoke Colony in present-day North Carolina, where he served as governor. His works are among the earliest visual records by a European of the natural environment and indigenous peoples of North America.

The painting "Horn Plantain" is part of a series of natural history illustrations created by White during his time in the New World. These illustrations were intended to document the various species of plants and animals he encountered, many of which were unfamiliar to a European audience. The "Horn Plantain" likely depicts a species of plantain or a related plant found in the region, characterized by its distinctive horn-like features. As with many of White's illustrations, the work would have been executed with careful attention to detail, aiming to provide an accurate representation of the subject for both scientific and general interest.

John White's illustrations, including "Horn Plantain," are significant not only for their artistic merit but also for their historical value. They provide insight into the natural world as encountered by European explorers during the age of discovery and serve as a record of the ecological landscape prior to extensive European settlement. White's works are held in various collections, with a significant number residing in the British Museum.

The "Horn Plantain" and other works by John White are important resources for historians, biologists, and art historians, offering a window into the past and a reflection of the cross-cultural encounters that defined the early colonial period in North America.
