F25v - tentative identification of an animal / plant hybrid
#18
What I mean is that, supposing that the figure is really meant to be Dracaena, then the depiction of the leaves is fairly naturalistic. This means that the guy not only knew about Dracaena by hearsay but he knew what it really looks like - perhaps not in person but by some other manuscripts.
