Scientific (biological, zoological, botanical) illustration from Dictionnaire Universel D'histoire Naturelle (1841-1849 in sixteen volumes, second edition in 1861) by Charles Henry Dessalines d'Orbigny (1806–1876), a French botanist and geologist specializing in the Tertiary of France. He was the younger brother of French naturalist and South American explorer, Alcide d'Orbigny. At the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, d'Orbigny identified many of the flowering plant species returned to France from his brother's natural history collecting journeys through South America.
