A black and white botanical line drawing of an arrowleaf balsamroot plant with many daisy-like flowers and large basal leaves, labeled below.

A botanical line drawing in horticultural style of the arrowleaf balsamroot (Balsamorhiza sagittata), rendered in black and white. Illustrate a perennial herb with erect to ascending stems, growing about 30 to 60 centimeters tall. Depict the plant’s distinctive large basal leaves, about 5 to 15 in number, shaped like elongated arrows or triangles with pointed tips, featuring long stalks. The leaves have smooth edges and are covered in fine hairs, especially on the undersides, giving a textured, slightly fuzzy appearance. Leaves are mostly basal and form a dense cluster at the base of the plant. Show slender, upright stems that may appear woolly or hairy. Include between 9 and 13 prominent flower heads positioned at the top of the stems. Each flower head should have 13 to 21 ray florets (petal-like structures) arranged as slender ligules forming a fringed circle around a dense central disk, typical of sunflower-like composite flowers. Emphasize precise, fine lines and strong tonal contrast to capture the texture and form typical of vintage scientific botanical illustrations. The drawing should have no background or roots visible, with the plant centered and isolated. See more
