inflorescence secondaire et fruits de Raphia farinifera portés par une spirale. Cette spirale est à considérer comme un symbole de la théorie foliaire de Goethe. Celui-ci, en observant les plantes, avait compris bien avant notre époque que toutes les parties de plantes ressemblaient à des feuilles, qu’elles avaient une base génétique commune.
Le socle est en bois d’Avodiré moiré Turraeanthus africanus (C.DC.) Pellegrin. Les piètements et cartel sont en Beli Julbernardia sp. Pellegrin. L’ensemble protégé par un capot en verre avec cadre en laiton brasé à l’argent. Cartel d’identification.
