Galianthe centranthoides (Cham. & Schltdl.) Cabral
· Collected 1897–1900; determined 1995
This is a herbarium voucher sheet, not a cartoon or caricature. It shows pressed, dried specimens of Galianthe centranthoides, a Rubiaceae shrub native to central Paraguay, mounted on archival paper with white tape strips. Multiple branches display opposite lanceolate leaves and compound cymose inflorescences. Collector labels identify Dr. E. Hassler's Plantae Paraguarienses expeditions (nos. 3314, 6516, 6976); two ISO TYPE SPECIMEN stamps confirm taxonomic authority. A color-calibration chart sits upper right for photographic reproduction. No satirical content, printmaking tradition, or caricature is present. This object belongs to natural history documentation, not the Hogarth-to-Nast lineage of print satire from which comics descend.
