There are several species and many vernacular names for this plant. In English, they include dropwort, meadwort, meadowsweet, bridewort. In Finnish, it's Mesiangervo, Danish Almindelig Mjødurt, Swedish Älggräs, in German Imenkraut, Mauch kraut, Echtes Mädesüß.
Why I like this ID (I have more pics, they are moderately common in medieval and classical texts, but these are the basics):

Ran into this (f65r) and thought it was interesting. Look! Only three words. And the identification looks reasonable: meadowsweet, and other names. If ever there was a chance that a plant illustration was identified with a name, this could be it.
So, what does it say? What is it called? What is meadowsweet called in French? It is called queen of the meadow = reine des prés.
And if the name is made plural: reines des prés - ? then, ... am i starting to see a letter to glyph correspondence between the French name and the VMs text, particularly referring to the final "s" and the preceding "e"????
