The statements of Tucker and Janick are not a yardstick.
They are based on ideas and not on knowledge.
All plants are of European origin and have a medicinal background. Most of them even grow on my doorstep.
The idea that they might be fantasy plants is nonsense and based on plant drawings from other books. This is because many books are copies of copies. So the text is still true, but in drawings a daisy becomes a Madagascar palm.
For example, The Book of Natures. 300 years in use. Preserved 170 fragments by 100 different authors.
A sentence like "If it could be identified as a sunflower, one would also have to consider America, and the age would have to be looked for after 1500".
The professor never said it was a sunflower, but the nonsense persists to this day.
For you it may come from America, but the experts will no longer consider it. And not only because of the C-14 test, that's just the end point.
