Astobbart, I'm not sure if we can take as a rule that texts in plant manuscripts refer explicitly to the figures. Off the top of my head, I can't even recall one example where a text is aware that it's illustrated.
The best we can hope for is that certain drawing elements consistently correspond to certain text elements. I do agree with the sentiment that colour is especially tricky for the reasons mentioned by Anton. Blue covers a lot of the palette.
