Plant of Folio 2v

Agreed, Koen, it is way more specific than most, although i would say the flower is pretty specific too, enough that the two in the drawing above would not qualify as matching at all. But you would get all three, those two plus Nymphoides, with a 2 out of 3 attitude towards the similarities to each part, with some leeway for various differences.

There could be mnemonics involved too, or instead of things that seem to match.

Here is another drawing showing the stolons in place on the Nymphaea, compared to the roots.



JKP i realize allowing for combos opens up the permutations but at the same time i don't think it is so far out to make a category that includes three different waterlilies, rather than listing them separately. It could include a variety of other plants as well.

Interesting. I just saw that seeblaats are used in heraldry. There may be a mnemonic in that aspect.


Also i believe all three are edible in various ways, seeds, rhizomes, leaves...another set of threes.
