[split] Overlap between both "plants" sections

[-JKP-]

I know it could be argued that maybe the big-plants section emphasizes a different part of the plant than the small-plants section (e.g., maybe one is for identification and one is for identifying the useful part of the plant), but once again, I looked into this in-depth, as well and, as far as I can see, when plants are duplicated in the small-plants section, they are drawn pretty much same as their counterpart in the big-plants section.

One of the things I am rather certain about (as far as certainty is allowed to exist in the Voynich world) is that the same plant can look vastly different between both sections. So I would strongly advise against using this as a determining factor.
...

These are good reasons, but I'm going to stick with my feeling about this for the moment. Considering the years I've spent studying the plants, and that I knew quite a bit about plants before I knew about the VMS, obviously everything I've observed in the Ms cannot be summed up or demonstrated in a few words.

I do not believe that there is a strong overlap between the big-plant section and the small-plant section even though there is some overlap (including some plants-in-common that I've noticed that others have not yet identified). The small plants are often drawn slightly simpler due to space and probably also because it's not necessary to draw them in detail if they are already in the big-plants section.

I believe the big-plants and small-plants sections may have different functions, which is why there's no need for all of them to overlap. Again you could argue that the drawings are different because the functions are different, but my observations so far indicate to me that when the plant is duplicated, it's usually recognizable as the same plant.


Here are a couple of examples of root plant pairs that were easy to grab, but it works for leaf plants also:

37v and 101v1_102r2:
 


18v and 101v1_102r2

   

These were drawn by someone who is methodical, "a creature of habit", as they say.
