The ID looks good, but isn't that just supposed to be part one? Isn't the purpose of the plant ID supposed to be the establishment of a connection with a medieval text monograph of the same plant. And then use that monograph connection to try to compare the structures of the relevant written texts.
So where are the medieval monographs? It happened with another recent investigation about Prunella. Every investigation needs examples. The difficulty with botanical investigation is not just the basic identification in the first place. There are only a few of these that have medieval connections, and none of these has provided a comparative text for examination.
