Hypericum caespitosum Cham. & Schltdl.

This herbarium sheet preserves a dried specimen of *Hypericum caespitosum*, a small St. John's Wort native to the Americas, its reddish-brown stems and minute leaves pressed flat against archival paper. It is not a cartoon or caricature. The image shows a botanical voucher specimen of the kind that underpins taxonomic science — not a work of print satire. No satirical tradition, no figures, no political target can be identified here. Displaying this object as visual satire would misrepresent both the specimen and the history of graphic art descending from Hogarth through Gillray, Daumier, and Nast. The label above cannot be honestly completed for this image.
