Matching Plant Images Internally

[ReneZ]

My matches "7", "11", "12", "13", "14", "18", "28", "34", "37" and "50" are "root" matches

My matches "24", "25", "26", "42", "44" and "48" are "leaf/flower" matches

Maybe we should have an extra column called match type which can then be: "root", "leaf/flower" or "general". (We could have "leaf" and "flower" as two separate types)

Within this framework it makes sense for there to be about double the number of small plant drawings when compared with large plants.

I think that it is a good idea to add a column (or more) to add details about the type of match.
While the quality of a match in general is subjective, there are still some less subjective aspects which could be added, for example whether or not the plant fragments in the pharma section includes a copy of part of the larger plant.

It is not likely to be so simple that the matches are two to one, one for the root, and one for the leaf/flower.
Of the total of 239 (remaining) plant fragments, 220 include a root, 183 include a leaf or leaves, and only 23 include flowers or fruit.
There are 134 (remaining) large plants, taking into account that on 5 pages there are two.

I think that it will take some looking for patterns, before one can say if there is any helpful relationship.
I think that it is justified to be hopeful, because I found a first indication of this some years ago - I am not sure how generally known this is:

The two (large) fragments that are next to each other on the bottom of f102r2 appear in full on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. respectively. This is on the same bifolio. If one were to remove the bifolios in between, one would also see these two plants next to each other in the same alignment.
