Mary Parrish
Reconstruction of streamside vegetation at Big Cedar Ridge. This was the only part of the landscape with abundant broad-leaved flowering plants. The lobed and toothed leaves are DN14 (probably the order Saxifragales). The smooth-margined cordate leaves in the lower right of the painting are DE8 (probably the order Laurales), and the slender leaves at the top are DN12 (probably the order Austrobaileyales).
