[split] Alternatives for "sunflower" ID

[-JKP-]

My main issue is that you need to take a lot of liberties with the shape and morphology of the head for it to be a sunflower. Nobody un their right mind would draw a sunflower head like a triangle.

In this pic, the point is facing in the other direction, but a seedhead can be somewhat triangular, depending on the angle:

I've said a number of times that I think the VMS illustrator drew at least some of the plants from life (some of them possibly from dried samples). The "sunflower" drawing seems to reinforce this possibility.
