This is a vintage botanical illustration of a Nepenthes, commonly known as a pitcher plant. The plant is depicted with a complex network of tendrils and leaves, culminating in several pitcher-shaped traps. The pitchers themselves are a striking combination of red and green, with intricate patterns of speckles and veins. Some pitchers are upright, while others hang downwards, suspended by the tendrils. The plant also features small, delicate flowers, adding a touch of color and detail. The illustration is rendered in a detailed, realistic style, with careful attention paid to the texture and form of the plant. The background is a simple, off-white color, which helps to highlight the plant's vibrant colors and intricate details. The illustration is labeled with the plant's name, 'Nepenthes,' and the title 'Nepenthaceae - Kannenpflanzen' (Pitcher Plants) in German. The illustration is part of a series titled 'Haeckel, Kunstformen der Natur' (Haeckel, Art Forms of Nature) and is labeled as 'Tafel 62' (Plate 62).
