This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Large-flowered Calamint, Clinopodium grandiflorum, also known as Great Flowered Balm or Melissa grandiflora.

The plant boasts square stems and oval, toothed leaves with a pleasant, minty fragrance. The Large-flowered Calamint was highly prized in the gardens of Europe for its ornamental value and its medicinal properties.
