This vintage herbarium sheet features an intricate specimen ofCamelina sagittata, a delicate member of the historic Cruciferae family, now known as the Brassicaceae. Its long, slender stems twist gracefully across the page, dotted with narrow leaves and a soft cluster of blooms and pods near the top.
Handwritten French notes identify the plant asCamelina sagittalis, with an added mention of its “tige ailée” — the subtly winged appearance of its stem. These marks of observation, along with the original mounting tape and gentle paper aging, reflect the thoughtful study behind this preserved botanical.
Light, elegant, and full of movement, this one-of-a-kind specimen adds a beautifully understated presence to any botanical display. It pairs seamlessly with other pieces from theHerbier de Provencecollection.
