Eriosema grandiflorum (Schltdl. & Cham.) G.Don

· Collected 1883, Mexico (State of Jalisco)

This is a pressed herbarium specimen, not a cartoon or caricature. Three dried branches of Eriosema grandiflorum — a leguminous shrub native to Mexico and Central America — are mounted with paper tape to archival board. The leaves have dried to olive-brown; dense terminal flower spikes survive in rust-colored fragments. A New York Botanical Garden determination label, annotated by John W. Grear Jr. in 1957, confirms the species identification. Collected by Dr. Edward Palmer in 1883, it belongs to the Natural History Museum, London (accession BMC13716238). No satirical content is present. This item cannot be honestly described within the requested exhibition framework.
