alchemical herbals

You will also notice that the drawing on the left has some oddities near the bottom. Notice how the lower moon is a "full moon" that almost resembles a glass vessel with something bright red under the "root"? It's a reference to fire and alchemical distillation processes. The two seedlike "tassels" at the top are the tubes running from the distillation mechanisms. Sometimes they are drawn upturned to represent the symbol for the moon or for mercury (which both have "horns").
