Go to your local university and look in the botany section, then look
at books of the species every country that's apt to grow henna
naturally. You'll find many beautiful botanic illustrations of henna!
Do remember, that the little turkey is called "Lawsonia Inermis" when
you're going through the index. I have several, if you need me to
postal mail you a copy. Otherwise, look for books like these:
