I decided to publish another one of the more normal plants. This one from f100r, which is not part of the mythological foldout. It's this plant, which I identify as a kind of leek.

The label reads kura?, which points towards the Egyptian kurrat leek. This interpretation is supported by the mnemonic hand in the root: Greek for "hand" is KheiR, which provides a bit of a memory booster.
I can't explain the shape of the leaves though. They are too wavy, and the arrangement of three leaves in an almost 90° angle is very strange. I see three options:
1) This is an attempt to draw actual Allium leaves.
2) This is an artistic convention.
3) This is an additional mnemonic device.
I think the third option is the most likely one, but I have no idea what this could refer to. An object? A glyph? Do let me know if you have an idea.
