Potamogeton thunbergii Cham. & Schltdl.

This is a pressed herbarium specimen, not a satirical print — no wall label for a caricature exhibition can honestly be written for it. The sheet shows a dried aquatic plant (*Potamogeton richardii* Solms, synonym *P. thunbergii*) collected during Wilhelm Schimper's Abyssinian expedition and later revised by Z. Kaplan in 2002 as an isolectotype. Its labels, stamp, and barcode belong to the history of natural-history collecting, not print satire. Mounting it in a comic-art lineage from Hogarth to Nast would be invention. The specimen deserves accurate botanical description, not a fabricated curatorial narrative.
