A 1567 Latin herbal printed in Antwerp by Christophe Plantin, translating Garcia de Orta's Portuguese dialogues on Indian drugs and aromatics, edited by Carolus Clusius for physicians and botanists. The pictures are small black-and-white woodcuts: a page of dense text with a marginal note, a cut of a bark-like band hung with clustered pods, and a sprawling knotted mass of dried material, with the title page printed in bold roman capitals and a central emblem.
