There are many plants that are asymmetric, but I've often wondered if VMS 31v is mnemonic, because it looks like it's "posed" as though to represent an angel or something along those lines (arms, wings). There are many plants with angelic or "Mary" or sanctus references in their names.
Very good find in terms of the way the leaves are attached (stacked on one another) and both drawings have similar umbellate flowers (or seeds), along with the curved, splayed roots.
I've seen this manuscript, but I can't remember if I went through all the plants. Sometimes I get halfway through an herbal and get so herbed out I need to look at something else for a while and then I come across something else and forget to get back to the previous one.
