Water Lily folio 2v stalk remedy

[MarcoP]

Hello JKP, of course, nobody can say for sure that this is a water lily. We are dealing with a manuscript we cannot read, so nothing is certain. There are difficulties with the hypothesis that this is a water lily, as there are difficult with all hypotheses. The most useful thing to do with difficulties is to propose better options: some other plant that appears in medieval herbals and is more similar to the leaves, roots and flower of f2v. Until somebody does that, the water-lily is the better hypothesis we have.
