BAC's definition of botanical art

Botanical art includes botanical documentation (scientific illustration enabling plant identification)and botanical art (esthetically pleasing presentation as well as scientifically accurate).

Botanical art can include forms of zoological life that have a relevant relationship with the plant material. Zoological elements must be secondary to the plant material and represented with scientific accuracy.

Botanical art can also include a background, as long as all its elements are part of the natural habitat of the plant subject and are secondary in prominence.

Botanical art does not include 'floral fine art,’ where the subject is depicted in a more impressionistic way.
