This botanical plate by Salvador Rizo Blanco, titled "Mutisia Clematis", is an exquisite testimony to the Royal Botanical Expedition to the New Kingdom of Granada. The work depicts the *Mutisia clematis* plant with scientific precision and an artistic delicacy characteristic of 18th-century botanical illustration. The vibrant red tones of its flowers contrast with the green of its foliage, presented with great detail and a harmonious composition that highlights its morphology. It forms part of the valuable documentary and artistic legacy of the expedition, fundamental for the study of American biodiversity.
