This seems to be the first edition of this plate, which was reprinted a few decades later in a smaller size, also published in Brussels.  This plate was identified by the original seller, who may have disbound the original book, as from the Brussels edition of 1829.  Its far larger in size than the later edition. A striking plate depicting a rare parasitic plant, a plate that must be very rarely found in any condition.
