Hypericum pratense Schltdl. & Cham.

· Collected 1878, Cobán, Guatemala

Hypericum pratense Schltdl. & Cham.
This is a pressed herbarium specimen, not a cartoon or caricature, and cannot be honestly described as one. The mounted sheet shows a dried *Hypericum* plant — likely a St. John's Wort species — collected in Cobán, Guatemala in 1878 as part of the De Türckheim Flora Guatemalensis series, later determined by N. K. B. Robson in 1968. Writing a fabricated wall label treating it as satirical printmaking would misrepresent a scientific botanical document. No such label can be responsibly produced from this image.
