Caspar Bauhin's 1671 Pinax Theatri botanici is a Latin botanical index from Basel, listing about six thousand plants by genus and species with their synonyms for scholars and physicians. Its small woodcut plant figures show whole specimens with roots, stems, leaves and flowers, drawn in fine parallel hatching on tinted paper, useful for designers seeking early botanical line drawing and natural specimen studies.
