Piper melastomoides Schltdl. & Cham.

This is not a cartoon or caricature. The image shows a pressed-plant herbarium specimen — dried leaves and stems of *Piper melastomoides*, a Mesoamerican pepper relative, mounted on archival paper. Accompanying labels record the collectors Schiede and Deppe, a Mexican provenance, and curatorial annotations including a Flora Mesoamericana review note. A color-calibration target and metric rule appear for photographic reproduction. No satirical figures, printmaking technique, or caricature tradition is present or applicable here. Exhibiting this specimen under a comic-art curatorial framework would misrepresent both the object and the tradition. No compliant wall label can honestly be written for this image in that context.
