Internally, Herball provides more evidence as it says things that we would never expect to find in a botany book, like
"Nostradami Salo-mensis Gallo-prouincie,"
And a Herball epigram begins with a reference to the Atlas Mountains,
"Define quae vastis pomeria montibus Atlas"

Why would you not expect to find poetry referencing the orchards of the Atlas mountains in a botanical book?
The verse goes:
DEsine, quae vastis pomaria montibus Atlas

Clauserat (Hesperij munera rara soli)
Auratis folijs auratos desine ramos
Mirari, & ramis pendula poma suis.

It's a bit of poetry upon the fertile end of Europe.

As for the first bit about Nostradamus, if you read the whole quotation (I couldn't be bothered to read the whole thing, here's the last paragraph which is the bit you're talking about):

qui cum decipi velit, decipiatur: in cuius fallacias per apposite finxit et cecinit olim hos versiculos eruditissimus col­lega D Jacobus Paradisus nobilis Gandauensis alludens adnomen tanti versutissimi herois Nostra­dami Salonensis Gallo-prouinciae,

Nostra-damus, cum verba damus, quia fallere nostrum;
Et cum verba damus, nil nisi Nostra-damus.

The author is referring to a play on words by D Jacobus laughing at Nostradamus. The play on words is difficult for me to translate, but uses the name of Nostra-Damus to warn against accepting words at face value.

Nostra­dami Salonensis Gallo-prouinciae is simply "Nostradamus S. the French speaker".

You say that

which turns out to be a term (along with its Berber name "Fez") used to link works written in the French, German, Latin and English languages.

Nah.

I'd also suggest you look up the Greek myth of Atlas and his connection to the African mountain range before trying to interpret Shakespeare.

Koen, fascinating about Ophrydium versatile.

You write:

'Nostradami Salonensis Gallo-prouinciae is simply "Nostradamus S. the French speaker".'

I read this as saying Nostradamus, native of Salon.  Salon was a town in the southern French province of Provence where Nostradamus lived. Although the letters u and n were often confused in handwriting, I'm pretty sure the u in prouinciae is a v and not an n.

Going back more than three decades, and long before I had ever heard of the VMS, I've been searching for the source of 161 lines of ancient text that were incorporated into the prophecies of Nostradamus. I do not believe it is a coincidence that, in the VMS, 161 "recipes" are marked by stars with red coloring.
