Castilleja arvensis Schlecht. & Cham. — Herbarium Syntype
· Collected 1831, Valley of Lima, Peru; determined University of Washington, 2000–2008
This is a pressed botanical specimen, not a cartoon or caricature. The sheet displays a dried plant — Castilleja arvensis, a hemiparasitic herb in the broomrape family — mounted on archival paper with handwritten collection data, a color-calibration strip, a metric rule, and two printed labels identifying it as a syntype. No satirical figures, printmaking tradition, or caricature content is present. Writing a comic-art wall label for this object would require fabricating content wholesale. No accurate label of the requested kind can be produced from what is actually shown.
