Nova plantarum, animalium et mineralium Mexicanorum historia is a 1651 natural history printed in Rome by Vitalis Mascardi for the booksellers Blasius Deuersinus and Zanobius Masottus, compiling Francisco Hernández's account of New Spain's plants, animals and minerals with additions by Nardo Antonio Recchi. The woodcut plates show plants drawn singly and with roots, leaves, flowers and seed heads, set in plain outline against the blank text, a clear model for botanical sketch work and simple linear illustration.
