There are still a few important herbals in this family that are not included in the family tree illustration.
Some are mentioned in the text though, and it would be interesting to see how they should fit in.
Beside Morgan M.873 there is a second MS in Modena (MS. Lat.993 - my old link does not seem to work anymore), and there is the stunning Carrara herbal (Egerton 2020), also known as the "Rinio" herbal, that is the topic of Baumann's book, and which is almost exactly contemporaneous with the Voynich MS. I don't know what is the status of the British Library's digital images, but that MS was only partly online in any case.
