Damned. I can't do homework, too many good books online. Check this gem of Japanese Design - Shin-bijutsukai from archive.org
From Hortus Malabaricus Garden of Malabar (1678-1693) I love these images. They can be found by title at a pretty cool online library I got hip to called the Botanicus Library. Beautiful stuff, sometimes its hard to navigate but this geo map is a good start. Ever wanted to know the medicinal plant history of Mexico?
