I am not an expert, but I agree with what Helmut wrote. I guess that most obvious place in which to expect references is an index.
This Pseudo-Apuleius herbal (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., 1175 ca) has an index and plants are referenced by number (i.e. by chapter). Next to each plant, on the margin, there is a roman number in red, corresponding to the number in red in the index. The index also includes a list sub-sections (different therapeutic uses) for each plant (these numbers are in black).
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (a 1475 ca copy of Cadamosto's herbal) also has an index. In this case, locations are referenced by folio number (with no indication of "recto" and "verso").
