Bacopa monnierioides (Cham.) B.L.Rob.

This is a herbarium specimen sheet, not a cartoon or caricature. It shows pressed and dried plant material — small-stemmed, opposite-leaved aquatic herbs with diminutive flowers — mounted on archival paper alongside a color calibration chart and metric ruler. Labels identify the collector as Francis W. Pennell, the location as moist depressions near Villavicencio, Intendencia Meta, Colombia, at roughly 450 meters elevation. A later determination slip names the species Bacopa monnierioides. The specimen carries ISOTYPE status. This object belongs to the history of natural history documentation, not print satire; no wall label for a caricature exhibition can honestly be written for it.
