Flora, ouero, Cultura di fiori is a 1638 Italian botanical treatise on flower cultivation, written by Giovanni Battista Ferrari with Ludovico Aureli, and printed in Rome by Pier Antonio Facciotto. The engravings show flowers, shrubs and a small tree in plain outline, with banners naming each plant in Latin. A designer could take their clear botanical line work and the dense, careful rendering of petals and foliage.
