A detailed botanical engraving of the Myristica genus, commonly known as nutmegs. The illustration is divided into several parts: a large branch on the left with several large, ovate leaves and a small, round fruit; a whole, pear-shaped nut hanging from the branch; a split nut revealing the large, brown, winged seed; a separate, intricate root system with many fine roots; and several smaller fruits or seeds labeled with letters. The labels are: 'a' on the branch, 'b' on the whole nut, 'c' on the split nut, 'd' on a small fruit, 'e' on a cross-section of a fruit, 'f' on a small fruit, 'g' on a small fruit, 'h' on a small fruit, 'i' on a small fruit, and 'l' on a small fruit. The style is characteristic of 18th-century botanical prints, with fine lines and cross-hatching for texture and shading. Fig. 2.
