This is an image of a print of a hand coloured engraving by James Sowerby (1757-1822), based on a drawing nominally by John White but probably by the convict artist Thomas Watling. It appeared as Tab. III in James Edward Smith's 1793 A Specimen of the Botany of New Holland. The plant depicted is Ceratopetalum gummiferum.

The accompanying text explains the figure thus:

1. A bunch of young flowers, of their natural size.
2. The more advanced calyx laid open, with its petals and stamina in the proper situations.
3. A petal and stamen separate.
4. The same magnified.
5. Back of the filament and anthera.
6. Germen in a young state.
7. Its coriaceous covering.
8. Stigma.
9. Germen somewhat farther advanced, cut across to shew the cells.
