hide detailed image description

Drawings of branches from three flowering plants, on a plain background. The top plant appears to be a species of Acacia, with bipinnate leaves, round yellow flowers overlaid with darker lines radiating from the centre, and buds represented by clusters of pencil circles on a yellow ground. The plant at lower left, possibly a species of Eucalyptus or Acacia, has narrow, lanceolate shaped green leaves with longitudinal veins, arranged alternately up a straight woody stem, and spikes of small yellow-green flowers. The plant at lower right has green lanceolate leaves, tendrils, and blue pea-like flowers.
