Botanical

Botanical painting, also known as botanical art or botanical illustration, is a scientific and artistic discipline that depicts plants and their parts in a way that accurately represents their form, colour, and detail. Botanical art is a type of art that is both artistic and scientific. It can be made using many different media, and the subject can be any type of plant and any parts of a plant, such as flowers, seed pods, roots, leaves, or stems. 

Artwork is frequently in colour (on a plain background). It may also include a record of the plant growing in its natural habitat. Botanical art may  form part of a project and contribute to a flora - records made of plants in a geographical location or garden. The emphasis is much more about a pleasing painting and much less on the botanical accuracy or natural colours or the various features of the flower. The style of painting may be more impressionistic, colours and/or relative size may not be entirely true. Informing or educating for scientific purposes are not of primary importance.
