From the exhibition

Adenocalymma comosum (Cham.) DC.

· Collected 1838; photographed for herbarium record, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew

Adenocalymma comosum (Cham.) DC.
This is a pressed botanical specimen — not a cartoon or caricature — mounted on archival paper and held at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (accession K000449336). It shows a dried branch of *Adenocalymma comosum*, a Neotropical woody liana of the family Bignoniaceae, with broad ovate leaves and remnant flower clusters. The specimen sheet, a standard tool of 19th-century taxonomic botany, carries handwritten determinations and a printed Kew label. No satirical, political, or caricature content is present. This object cannot honestly be described within the requested exhibition framework without fabricating a history it does not possess.
