Ellie, I agree with what you write about the Voynich manuscript being consistent with the other sources. Yet it has its peculiar traits (as all manuscripts do). Since I know you have seen many, I would appreciate if you could share the details of some of the differences you find relevant, if there are any.

I attach an example of Plantago with an accompanying animal (quite frequent, but absent from the four manuscripts I chose from comparison). This is from BNF Lat 17844 (Italian "alchemical herbal", 1440-1460).

I have updated the attachments in the first post, adding plant names for easier reference and using a slightly higher resolution.

Consider that in relation to Plant 25v (the one some have identified as Mandragora), a plant with parallel veins, a basal whorl and a dragony/lizardy critterr included.

Rather than repeating them here, I might as well provide a link to some of my thoughts on 25v:
