Hortus Indicus Malabaricus is a 1678 Amsterdam botanical work by Henrik van Rheede with commentary by Arnoldus Syen, describing rare plants of the Malabar Coast of India for a learned European readership. The four pictures are small woodcut-style decorative initials and a tailpiece built from dense scrolling acanthus leaves, foliage and flourishes, useful to a designer looking for historical ornament, letter frames and foliate borders.
