One question that anyone who studies the VM asks is why the author drew herbs that do not exist. He did it deliberately and if someone now thinks he recognizes any, it is because inevitably out of 130 invented plants, some have to resemble an existing one.
At the time herbs were drawn realistically, as reliably as possible so that there were no errors in identification. Look for example the Tractatus de herbis, contemporary of the Voynich.

Sometimes in a more natural way, other times more schematically, the objective is to identify the herbs well, which also have their names next to them in several languages.
