On the Names of Plants

The image shows the inside cover of a book featuring marbled paper with a pattern of red, blue, green, and orange swirls. Pasted onto the paper is a rectangular bookplate (ex libris). The bookplate contains a central engraved emblem within an ornate cartouche. At the top of the cartouche is a crown, and it is flanked by sprigs of leaves. Inside the cartouche, a bird (likely a rooster or cock) stands upon three rounded mounds. Below the heraldic device, text is printed on two lines.
