Petasites isn't the only plant on my list for this drawing.
There are some forms of rhubarb that have green stems, rounded leaves with ruffles and tears, and stalks similar to the VMS plant. Some also have roots that are thick and clumpy, some as thick as a fat parsnip.
But... even when you look very closely at the flowers (which are in tight bunches), they aren't shaped like the VMS flowers/fruits (which are similar to some species of groundsel), they are more clumpy and rounded.
