Less-known is an unpublished manuscript with water-colours of Brazilian orchids, which was acquired by the wealthy French Baron Delessert, who send it on loan to John Lindley. Lindley described dozens of new orchid species based on Descourtilz&#8217; illustrations and used several of them as models for his beautiful publication Sertum Orchidaceum. Here we present a large selection of Descourtilz&#8217; original illustrations of Brazilian orchids, including all the drawings that have been used by Lindley to typify his new taxa based on Descourtilz&#8217; exploration.]]></p></abstract>
