Somewhere in another thread Wladimir explored whether there are intersections in words mentioned in the botanical folio where a plant is depicted and in the pharma folio where (an element of) the same plant is depicted. The result was that intersections were very few and did not suggest that plant names are plainly mentioned at all in the botanical section.

Thank you, Anton!
I guess Wladimir's post you are referring to is You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.?

In my current research, I am considering the different sections of the ms individually. Of course, the overlaps between the various sections also are of great interest.

A difficulty I see with interpreting the labels of the small plants as something different from plant names is that the parallels I am aware of label plants with their names. Also, the illustrations are not detailed enough to provide identification of the plants. But, as always, everything is possible. Anyway, also if the labels denote substances extracted from the plants, it's still strange that these substances are not mentioned in the paragraphs.

I attach a 1531 illustration of labeled small plants from You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..
