Dear pjburkshire,
You wrote: "I have trouble reading Shakespeare from 425 years ago and English is my native language." The question we are asking here is simple. Just as you read the plant names written today on the page we read, could the drawings of the plants on that page belong to the plants we mentioned/read? To answer this question, you don't need to be a linguist, have read articles, or engage in hypothesis reading. The author wrote these names 600 years ago in the same form as they are written today. Do the mentioned plants resemble the drawings made? Is it difficult to understand this simple question? We suggest that everyone who reads our comments share their thoughts on this matter. I believe that those who do not accept our suggestion will not comment at all. Yet, I thought that we deserved the courtesy of answering our simple question simply and explaining the reasons. Instead of doing so, I don't understand the purpose of asking new questions right after our question.
Sincerely,
