Description
Botanical study of small and middle flea-bane (Conyza minor and Conyza media) with flower detail. Signed ‘Ric: Waller pinx[it]’ (Richard Waller painted this). Unlike on his other drawings, Waller did not record the reference to John Ray’s Synopsis Methodica Stirpium Britannicarum (London, 1690), though these plants are listed on p. 48, nos 1 (middle fleabane) and 2 (small fleabane).
