An anthotype (from Greek άνθος anthos "flower" and τύπος týpos "imprint", also called Nature Printing) is an image created using photosensitive material from plants under the influence of light (e.g. UV light, rays of sun). [1] An emulsion [2] [3] is made from crushed flower petals or any other light-sensitive plant, fruit or vegetable.
The plant grows up to 0.4 m (1.3 ft). The flowers are white, pedicellate, with six obovate petals and bloom from May to July. [3] After it flowers, it bears dark blue/purple fruit with a white powdery coating from June to August. [4] Its stems are terete and grow 30–60 cm (12–24 in) long. Its rhizomes are stout and knotty. The plant is ...
The body of the plant, a transparent green frond, is less than a millimeter wide. In one human experiment, processed W. globosa was reported to provide dietary protein and vitamin B 12. [3] Wolffia globosa has been described as the world's smallest flowering plant, at 0.1–0.2 mm (0.004–0.008 in) in diameter. [4] [5]

Seen through a microscope, chlorophyll is concentrated within organisms in structures called chloroplasts – shown here grouped inside plant cells. Plants are perceived as green because chlorophyll absorbs mainly the blue and red wavelengths but green light, reflected by plant structures like cell walls, is less absorbed.
Monotropa uniflora, also known as ghost plant, ghost pipe, or Indian pipe, is an herbaceous, parasitic, non-photosynthesizing, perennial flowering plant native to temperate regions of Asia, North America, and northern South America, but with large gaps between areas.
The plants or useful parts of plants are illustrated. Cheng Yaotian (1736-1796) observed plants in nature and cultivated them. The drawings accompanying his text resemble herbarium specimens, emphasizing flower and fruit details. Wu Qijun (1789-1847)'s Illustrated Catalogues of Plants (1848) also relied on direct observation of plants in nature.
