Matching Plant Images Internally

I know I have more to contribute and I will when I get the time.

Sorry, I got distracted by decoding the text...

I am not sure what exactly you mean by this. However to clarify what I think should be done->

There are different pieces of text:

1) Small plant labels. Which may be split into pairs containing a root label and a leaf label
2) Herbal text. This is the full page of text against a large plant amongst the herbal pages of the manuscript.
3) Small plant page text. In addition to the individual labels against each plant there are paragraphs on Small plant page.

One would hope that there might be some relationship between this text.

Of particular interest to me is the comparison between the root label and leaf label for the same plant amongst the small plants. This is because one possibility is that the label in both cases could be the same or similar due to it being the name of the plant. However such viable pairs are probably not common as they require a good root match and a good leaf match.

I should reiterate that if we can find a pattern from this textual comparison then that is certainly a useful result.  However even if we can find no textual comparison then I would contest that that is still a useful result.

Once the label to label matches are examined then the task of comparing those labels to the large bodies of plant text can be done.
