The leaf shape is similar to the VMS, yes, but the flower is wrong. The VMS flower (and leaf) matches the Menyanthes/Villarsia species. They have one ring of five petals rather than several rows of petals.
Menyanthes/Villarsia are small water lilies, also known as frogbit. Villarsia is also found in a few herbal manuscripts, but usually one sees the larger ones (Nenufar and Nuphar).
Some of them are fringed, some are not. Some have prominent pistils, some don't, but Villarsia/Nymphoides matches the VMS drawing very well, especially when the flowers are not fully open. It even has a ridge on the base of the calyx as on the VMS flower.
