"Large Flowering Sensitive Plant" is a botanical illustration by Robert John Thornton, produced as part of his ambitious work, "The Temple of Flora," which is one of the most sumptuous and distinctive botanical publications of the early 19th century. Thornton (1768–1837) was an English physician and botanical writer who embarked on the creation of this elaborate series of flower engravings to honor the work of the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus.

The illustration of the Large Flowering Sensitive Plant (Mimosa grandiflora) stands out for its exquisite detail and artistic quality, reflecting the Romantic era's fascination with the exotic and the dramatic in nature. Thornton commissioned some of the most talented artists and engravers of his time to produce the images for "The Temple of Flora," which combined scientific accuracy with a poetic sensibility.

The Large Flowering Sensitive Plant illustration is particularly notable for its depiction of the plant's delicate foliage and the intricate structure of its flowers. The sensitive plant is known for its rapid movement in response to touch, a characteristic that added to the allure and mystique of the species during Thornton's time.

Thornton's work was not just a scientific endeavor but also an artistic one, aiming to capture the beauty and diversity of the floral world. Despite the commercial failure of "The Temple of Flora" upon its initial release, due to its high production costs and the economic pressures of the Napoleonic Wars, the illustrations, including that of the Large Flowering Sensitive Plant, have since been recognized as masterpieces of botanical art and continue to be celebrated for their historical and aesthetic significance.
