A conceptual internal plant match?

[Koen G]

It is possible that they generally associated elephants with the East, maybe even likely. At least going by bestiary entries, that's where they do the whole mandrake mating thing

If it is meant to represent a clove plant, then I wouldn't expect the botanical details to be accurate at all. I assume what they saw in Europe was the spice. I also assume that some of the colors in the MS are informed, and that they may have intended to represent this plant's fruit as woody. You could really make a case for clove here. Though I'd first look up what was written about clove, how they depicted the plant (if at all) etc.
