But what we have in f.13r is a plant with no legible label yet which is so clear that two very different approaches, by two very different researchers, not only using entirely different methodology but holding very different opinions about the manuscript itself reached the same point of view about the identification - more or less."
I would be cautious of using E. Sherwood's identifications as "confirmation" of one's own IDs.
E. Sherwood had no background in plants and a large proportion of her IDs are questionable and some very obviously wrong.
