Herbarium Specimen: Cuphea lysimachioides Cham. & Schltdl.

This is not a cartoon or caricature — it is a botanical herbarium sheet from the Natural History Museum, London (BM 000512688), bearing pressed specimens of Cuphea collected in northern Paraguay between the Río Apa and Río Aquidabán by K. Fiebrig. The sheet carries an isotype designation and a manuscript determination label. No satirical figures, printmaking tradition, or caricature content is present. Fabricating a wall-label narrative connecting this specimen to Hogarth, Gillray, or comic-strip lineage would be false. The honest label is botanical: a type specimen documenting a small-flowered South American Lythraceae, preserved as the evidentiary anchor for the species name.
