From the exhibition

Dioscorea convolvulacea Cham. & Schltdl.

· Collected 1854, Orizaba, Mexico

Dioscorea convolvulacea Cham. & Schltdl.
This is a herbarium specimen, not a cartoon or caricature. The mounted sheet shows a dried, pressed example of *Dioscorea convolvulacea*, a twining yam vine native to Mexico, collected at Orizaba by botanist Botteri (no. 567) and held at the Natural History Museum, London. The label identifies it as an isosyntype — a duplicate of the original type collection used to formally name the species. A color-reference chart and ruled scale appear at right. No satirical, political, or caricature content is present in this image, and fabricating a wall label for a comic-art exhibition around a botanical specimen would be factually dishonest. No label can responsibly be produced.
