"Protea speciosa, Perigonia pistillum pl.12" is a botanical illustration from the "Thesaurus Botanicus," a work published in 1819 by the Austrian botanist Leopold Trattinnick. The illustration is part of a comprehensive collection that aimed to document and describe plant species, particularly focusing on their detailed botanical characteristics. Trattinnick, who was a notable figure in the botanical sciences during the early 19th century, contributed significantly to the field through his meticulous illustrations and descriptions, which were used as references by botanists and horticulturists.

The illustration depicts Protea speciosa, a species belonging to the Proteaceae family, which is native to South Africa. The genus Protea is known for its diversity and striking appearance, with species often characterized by large and distinctive flower heads. The term "Perigonia pistillum" in the title likely refers to specific morphological features of the plant's reproductive structures, which are a key focus in botanical illustration for the purposes of scientific accuracy and plant identification.

"Thesaurus Botanicus" stands as an important historical document in botanical literature, providing insights into the flora studied during Trattinnick's time. The detailed plates, including "Protea speciosa, Perigonia pistillum pl.12," serve not only as a visual record of plant species but also as an example of the artistry and skill involved in botanical illustration, a practice that combines scientific knowledge with artistic representation. The work of Trattinnick and his contemporaries laid the groundwork for future botanical exploration and classification, and their illustrations remain valuable for both their scientific merit and aesthetic appeal.
