Aphyllon Caner Root, Verbascum Blattaria, and Bignonia Catalpa

A watercolor painting of a aphyllon cancer root, verbascum blattaria, and bignonia catalpa. The written notation next to the aphyllon cancer root indicates that a description of the plant is on page 328 of Asa Gray's Manual of Botany and sent by a Mrs D. S. Rosenough. The written notation by the Verbascum Blattaria indicates that the plant is also known as a mullein, was sent from Mohonk by a Miss. Procter, and painted on July 6, 1982. The written notation by the bignonia catalpa indicates that it was collected from Mary Doane's home grounds.
