Cartoons & Caricature
Heliotropium transalpinum var. tiaridioides (Cham.) I.M.Johnst.
· Collected 1913, det. 2018
This is a pressed herbarium specimen, not a cartoon or caricature. The mounted plant shows stems, leaves, and partial inflorescence of a Paraguayan heliotrope collected by E. Hassler for Plantae Paraguarienses (1913) and later determined by F. Luebert at the Royal Botanic Gardens. No satirical content, printmaking tradition, or caricature lineage is present or applicable. Writing a wall label treating this botanical sheet as a comic-art artifact would be factually false. The object belongs in a natural history or botanical-illustration context, where its correct label is the specimen data already printed on its herbarium sheet.
