I didn't know that dots could stand for 'hairiness' or other characteristics - thank you. 

In the case of f7v, the fact that the plant is hairy would be denoted twice then, since the drawer already put plenty of little hair-like strokes around all the leaves. 

But do you know of other examples in medieval herbals where something is signified by one single dot per leaf?


I forgot to mention them earlier (I always worry about putting too much information in one post), but Medicago and some of the Polygoniums are also depicted in old herbals with dots on their leaves. In real life, the shape is more like a chevron (and some herbals depict them this way), but some of the rougher drawings use a spot.
