Which folio is Ricinus?

Most likely Ricinus. Note the peltate leaves. The drawing is naturalistic. The leaves, fruits, and roots are accurate (they are almost white and kind of curvy like the VMS drawing).

The only other reasonable possibility IMO is one of the chestnut species but the leaflets are more separate and not quite peltate, whereas in Ricinus they are more fused. Ricinus is an ancient Old World medicinal plant. It's in many of the old herbals.
