The whole idea of mnemonics is not mine, what is mine is the "heads and tails" idea specifically.
From the Wikipedia list, I guess that model mnemonics/image mnemonics are the things in question. What "information" is the subject of it - this is being subject to dispute. I think that that is primarily plant names, others think that that is primarily plant usage/usefulness. I guess, ultimately it may turn out that it is some mix of these.
In short, yes there are. Koen and Diane may advise on that better than me.

Quote: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?
In short, yes there are. Koen and Diane may advise on that better than me.
