f35v is Brussels sprouts?

[Jorge_Stolfi]

F35v is one of few pictures in VM that has a very strong guess confirmed in other manuscripts.

It is very possible that it was inspired by an ivy growing on an oak. 

Indeed, that must be the source for f35v! But the Scribe presumably did not feel like adding the ivy's leaves, and choose to draw two loose turns  of its stem instead of the correct tight spiral.  

Di you notice that the stem of the "ivy" pierces through the stem of the "oak"?  I have an explanation for that, but it involves a word that some here consider obscene... 

All the best, --stolfi
