The Long-leaved Oncidium, also known as the Longifolia or Cohniella Longifolia, is a captivating epiphytic orchid native to Central and South America. Its long, slender leaves can reach up to 30 inches in length, providing a striking contrast to the small, fragrant flowers that bloom along its stems. These flowers are typically white with pink or purple markings and emit a delightful, sweet fragrance.

Their unique and intricate beauty has inspired generations of artists, collectors, and enthusiasts. This exquisite engraving is a testament to the enduring allure of these remarkable plants and the artistry of those who have sought to capture their essence. Miss Sarah Drake was a renowned botanical artist of her time, known for her meticulous attention to detail and her ability to bring the natural world to life through her illustrations. George Barclay was an accomplished engraver, whose skillful hand brought Drake's illustrations to new heights of detail and clarity. Together, their collaborative efforts resulted in this stunning representation of the Long-leaved Oncidium, a true masterpiece of botanical art.
