This doesn't look like the VMS dragony-critter, but it does show how fanciful these dragon critters could be.
(From the Luttrell Psalter.)
I tend to think the VMS author(s) would somehow relate the creature to the plant which is why I thought the "camel dragon" might be a possibility, because it directly relates the creature not only to the name of the plant, but to the habitat (camels do browse on these).
I tried to find plants that might be associated with seahorses or the various names for seahorses, but haven't found any direct relationships yet. I'll keep an eye out, since it's possible there are some.
