Thanks Ellie!
I hadn't seen this found by Rene, and had no particular Voynich folio in mind with my comment, but the parallel with 35v is really nice!
So there is attested oak/ivy and dragancia/ivy in medieval manuscripts... I wonder how many other such combinations can be accounted for in the literature, as you mention oak/ivy is "the most popular one" I guess there may be others?

hadn't seen your comment before I posted Rene! These are very interesting... a question though: do all such combinations you found involve ivy or other twining plants, or have you found other types of combinations in this style (2 plants discussed in text = 1 combined illustration)?
