Here's the problem with opening the door to composite plants...
We do not know the intention of the illustrator.
Are we going to decide in advance that this is a combination of water plants? Even if it's narrowed down to water plants, if it's composite, that creates dozens of combinations. How can that even be discussed in a reasonable way without everyone having different ideas about how to combine them.
I'm not closing the door to composite plants. I just think it becomes difficult, maybe even impossible, to have any productive conversations about them.

- There are a thousand flowers that look like 2v.
- There are hundreds of leaves that are shaped like 2v.
- There are many rhizomes that are similar to 2v.
