(@Anton, sorry to pollute your thread. It was a thing of the moment.)
Let's go along with your idea. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.tell us there are 9 types:
1. Music mnemonics: Songs and jingles can be used as a mnemonic. A common example is how children remember the alphabet by singing the ABC's.
2. Name mnemonics: The first letter of each word is combined into a new word. For example: VIBGYOR for the colours of the rainbow
3. Expression or word mnemonics: The first letter of each word is combined to form a phrase or sentence
4. Model mnemonics: A model is used to help recall information.
5. Ode mnemonics: The information is placed into a poem or doggerel
6. Note organization mnemonics: The method of note organization can be used as a memorization technique.
7. Image mnemonics: The information is constructed into a picture
8. Connection mnemonics: New knowledge is connected to knowledge already known.
9. Spelling mnemonics: An example is "i before e except after c or when sounding like a in neighbor and weigh"
So in order to look at the concept we should at the complete mnemonic possible scenario of the plants as suggested.
The first thing I would do is find out if drawings of plants are known to be a mnemonic model in medieval times?
I do not know, but if the look & the roots of plants have such a thing hidden, it certainly would not be a new thing.
Are there examples of such use or similar?
