Comparison of the structure of plants in the VMS and other medieval Manuscripts.

[folaht]

There's already You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. by You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. on this topic, 
but I think it would be nice to compare all plants of all similar manuscripts to
that of the VMS and each other. 

Perhaps this is a good way to ID plants, 
because all of these flowers of all of these manuscripts are terribly drawn,  
so perhaps by comparing the manuscripts, we might be able to find
some patterns in the madness.  

I've so far only found one comparison that I'm willing to make.

#### Argument for You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. - White affodil

My argument of this being the white affodil is that I was simply looking 
for a plant that had big leaves shaped into a star. 
They both have a white flower in the middle of the star leaves, 
but in the Vermont Manuscript they're tiny, 
so the Voynich Manuscript image would then actually be 
the better drawing of the two.

The UoV MS flower description clearly reads "Astula reggia" and by
websearching you can find "Asphodelus Albus"
