This is not really about internal plant matching, but it might contribute to your idea of plant parts resembling elephants, which I find intriguing.
Like you, I have noticed that the root in f55v resembles an elephant, and find your interpretations of the symbolic elements in the images very interesting. it also seems plausible to me that the elephant motif could function as a referance to the East. It would be helpful to look for some literature on this, I am fairly sure Spike Bucklow have written about elephants in "The Alchemy of Paint".
My analysis of the morphology of the plant in f55v, suggests clove, possibly Eugenia caryophyllata. A plant from the East.
