Let's not wander offtopic from f8r.

Are there any more ideas about the lesser leaf and the hook? I am totally puzzled.

UPD, for what it's worth: I just thought of the lesser leaf as of a weather vane.

The issue of whether the plants are duplicated in the small- and large-plants section does have a bearing on the identification of 8r and all the plants. If it's in the small-plants section in a totally different way, one that resembles a possible ID for a big plant, then the ID for the big plant may be wrong.



I'm pretty sure if the VMS illustrator intended this to be okra, the hook would have been a pair of hooks , not a single hook.

Petasites has lesser leaves if you want to include the smaller clasping leaves that grow up the stalk. If those are not intended in the VMS drawing, then I don't know what the hook represents other than a fallen leaf from a plant that hasn't been mentioned yet.
