Chinese Wild Plants in Botanical Illustration Vol II

Chinese Wild Plants in Botanical Illustration is one of two companion titles, each presenting 300 beautiful, hand-drawn illustrations of China’s native plants. This second title looks at the different roles that plants play in human life; their cultural significance and their practical uses. From common wildflowers and wild grasses to rarer species found on mountains and in forests, these botanical artworks reveal the extraordinary in what we commonly take to be the ordinary. With her uncanny ability to bring real life to the page, illustrator Wu Xiuzhen exposes the exceptional beauty that is inherent in the natural world all around us.
