Abstract
This article concerns surviving examples of late medieval embroidered conventional flowers. The flowers are classified in terms of their structure. Photographs of typical examples are included. The count of surviving examples shows that four of the surviving types occur more frequently than the others. Of these four, two have clear Christian iconography, while the other two derive from classical devices. The distribution of variations within the types raises questions about how the variation in the designs arose, and how the embroidered flowers were traded.
