Stirpium aduersaria noua is a 1571 botanical and medical treatise by the French botanist Pierre Pena, printed in London by Thomas Purfoot for physicians and students of materia medica. Its woodcuts show whole plants drawn with roots, stems, leaves and flowers, set on plain pages with the text running around them, a clear model for botanical line drawing.
