I am more hesitant about Reseda and Moss. For many reasons. I don't see flower shape similarity, the main characteristic for plant identification. Also the leaves are not convincing. But all are in my opinion. Are there any moss drawings in medieval so we may compare the figures?
I think the flower in the drawing is in a leaf-shape cover,specially we can see it is green colored, same/similar to spathe which we see in Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum. But I question one part, The flower position ,could it be artistic preference or any other similar species? I don't know, since I haven't mined this text yet.
(I won't restrict myself to New/Old world. why? because the timeline questions the concept of whether it was written by explorers or not.)
