Dear Genevieve:
These paintings by Plumier were very important because they were used in some cases by Jacquin to typify his new species he collected in the Caribbean. Quite a nice painting. Where did you find this copy?

This is a beautiful engraving of the french botanist Plumier . "Botanicum Americanum seu Historia Plantarum in americanis Insulis
nascentium " 1689 - 1697
It's the aroids paradise .
I dedicate for your dear friends Tricia and Julius.
Geneviève Ferry
