Yet another "green world" I thought of while browsing these stunning graphics: Leo Lionni's work La Botanica Parallela (Parallel Botany), a book intended for adult readers and thus perhaps lesser known than his celebrated childrens books. It's sort of a botanical counterpart to Borges's Book of Imaginary Beings, illustrated with pencil drawings of... never-documented weeds and flowers.
thanks for your kind comments. @Tororoshiru - I do have a copy of Parallel Botany and hope to feature it someday. I think it is out-of-print in the US. @Visual Culture, love that Ratz link, thank you very much!

some of this, and the humans on his flickr page, remind of Basil Wolverton as well as the other influences
