Hortus Indicus Malabaricus is a 1678 Amsterdam botanical work by Henrik van Rheede, with notes by Arnoldus Syen, Johannes Casearius and others, documenting rare plants of the Malabar Coast of India. The pictures are copper-engraved initial letters with dense scrolling ornament framing Latin botanical text, a dense ornamental vocabulary a designer could borrow for decorative capitals and borders.
