Lippia asperrima Cham. (Herbarium Specimen)
· Collected December 1900, Paraguay
This is a pressed botanical herbarium specimen, not a political cartoon or caricature, and cannot honestly be described as one. The sheet shows dried stems, leaves, and small flower heads of Lippia asperrima Cham. (family Verbenaceae), mounted on archival paper with tape strips, a color-calibration chart, a metric scale bar, and two handwritten labels: a determination by M. Clélgua (1999) and a collection note from Dr. E. Hassler's Plantae Paraguarienses series, locating the plant in the Cerros de Paraguay. No satirical content, caricature tradition, or printmaking technique is present or applicable here.
