Curtis Botanical – Plate 6320 – One-leafed Onion / Single-leaf Onion

Original antique black-and-white print from Curtis's Botanical Magazine — Plate 6320.

A beautiful California native onion with bright rose-pink flower balls held on tall stems above a single grass-like leaf (unifolium). Native to coastal California and Oregon — one of the most elegant of the wild alliums.

CALIFORNIA AND OREGON NATIVE 🌿 — grows on the coast from CA to SW Oregon.

Uncolored plate. Condition consistent with age of volume. Each print is a unique piece of botanical history, printed on paper aged over a century.

This is an original uncolored (plain) plate from leftover publisher stock of Curtis's Botanical Magazine, printed in London. It was issued uncolored and never bound. We bought the holding at the estate of a Chicago rare bookseller. Labels and stock papers from the British dealer Wheldon & Wesley came with it. Library stamps, when present, are noted on the listing.
