The scorzonera-leaved leek, Allium scorzoneræfolium, is immortalized in print Allium scorzonerifolium, a stipple engraving created c. 1804. Produced by Pierre-Joseph Redouté for the second volume of Les Liliacées, Allium scorzonerifolium strives for accuracy. Its balanced composition illustrates the plant to scale, while Redouté's advanced engraving style simulates realistic texture through color and value. The impressive naturalism with which Redouté produces Allium scorzonerifolium renders the print tangible to the viewer.
