I wonder though if the cc abbrev may not have been meant to refer to a plant name that would have been recognized easily by the reader. Something so common it could be abbreviated to cc. Though I'm at a loss what it could be then.
Yes, that might have happened, he started copying a second line, realized he had goofed, then went back and put in the names. Usually the habitat comes after the three names.
Circa is used in the general sense to mean near/similar. He also uses the word similar (especially in relation to leaves). I don't know if the same c'c abbreviation is occasionally used for something else (it's possible). If so, I'm not sure yet what it is. I haven't really had much time to look at this interesting manuscript (sadly), I've only glanced a few times, but it's pretty orderly and mostly follows a comprehensible template.
