I once tried to classify all herbal drawings as objectively as I could, into threee categories:
1) looks like this could possibly be a real plant
3) does not look like this could ever be a real plant
and
2) doubtful / in between.
Very subjective, of course, and if I did it again, I would most probably end up with a different result.
However, if there were a clear trend, it should come out.
My counts were: (1 - 2 - 3)
For A language pages:
44 - 49 - 4
For B language pages:
13 - 19 - 5
In summary, I failed to see any systematic difference according to this test, but I wouldn't consider the 'case closed'.
