notes:
Ocopiaztli is probably Eryngium monocephalum. Hern?ndez was an expert on medicinal botany who became personal physician to King Philip II of Spain. In 1571 he left for Mexico and the Philippines where he collected specimens for seven years. Three indigenous artists accompanied him. Hern?ndez linked each plant with one or more of the humors of the body. Image title from chapter title.
