Description botanique du Chiranthodendron : arbre du Mexique, nouvellement connu, et remarquable par son aspect et sa beauté
A botanical description of the Chiranthodendron, a tree from Mexico, published in Paris in 1805 by José Dionisio Larréategui with Baron Daniel Lescallier, and printed by the Imperial printing house for a scholarly audience of botanists and naturalists. The two plates are hand-coloured botanical studies, showing the flowering branch with broad lobed leaves on the first, and on the second the flower parts, a cut seed capsule with its star-shaped section, and a long pod, all laid out with careful lettering and keys for a designer to borrow for scientific layouts and vintage specimen panels.
