Giambattista della Porta's (1535–1615), Phytognomonica (1588), is an eight-book treatise examining the outward characteristics of plants, animals, minerals, and other natural objects in relation to their hidden properties. It draws on the doctrine of signatures, the idea that an organism’s visible features, such as its shape, colour, or growth habits, may indicate its medicinal properties.
