6. (centre left) external view of fruit; ‘Frucht’
On the surrounding white frame at top is ‘Ausländische Kulturpflanzen in farbigen Wandtafeln‘.
At top, on black ground, left ‘I. Abteilung.’, right ‘Tafel 20.’
On the white at bottom: immediately under black are the artist’s and publisher’s details; the next line is the species title; bottom line is key to the numbered diagrams, in German.
