Spigelia flemmingiana Cham. & Schltdl.

· Collected 1837, identified as Typus specimen

This is a herbarium type specimen — a pressed and dried botanical plant mounted on archival paper. It shows a slender flowering herb with opposite leaves and fibrous roots, collected in British Guiana (now Guyana) along the Essequibo River by Robert Schomburgk. The label identifies it as the Typus (nomenclatural type) of Spigelia flemmingiana, held at the Natural History Museum, London. The specimen is a primary scientific document of Victorian-era botanical exploration.
