Prunella vulgaris (Self-Heal) – Variant Specimen

his vintage herbarium sheet features a second, beautifully delicate specimen ofPrunella vulgaris, commonly called Self-Heal. This particular mounting shows the bloom in a softer, more open state, paired with long, narrow leaves marked by the natural spotting that occurs over time in preserved botanicals.

The original mounting tape remains in place, holding the stem and flower exactly as the botanist first positioned them decades ago. Its warm, timeworn tones and the gentle irregularities of the pressed petals offer a quiet window into early botanical fieldwork and preservation.

This unique specimen pairs seamlessly with the firstPrunella vulgarislisting or stands alone as a striking piece of Provençal natural history. A rare find for collectors who appreciate authentic herbarium work.
