Dioscorea convolvulacea Cham. & Schltdl.

This is a herbarium specimen sheet, not a cartoon or caricature. It shows pressed, dried leaves of Dioscorea convolvulacea, a Mexican yam vine, mounted on archival paper with collection data, a color-calibration chart, and a scale rule. The label identifies it as an isosyntype collected by Botteri in Oaxaca, Mexico, and determined by O. Tellez in 1993. No satirical content, printmaking tradition, or caricature is present. Writing a wall label framing this botanical specimen as political satire would be factually false. A curator's obligation is accuracy: this object belongs in a natural history or history-of-science exhibition, not one tracing Hogarth or Daumier to the comic strip.
