Is it worthwhile actually trying to identify the plants in the VM?
#13
There are some plants in the VMs that were id-ed the same by different people at different times independently. While personal suggestions are vulnerable to criticism - the wisdom of the crowd that worked on the plants ids in the last 100 years (starting with Ethel Voynich, who consulted botanists about them) shows that at least some of the plants are not imaginary creatures, but actual plants that are even found in the old herbals.
My personal collection of plant ids is here - I made the list not because I think I am right, but because I hope that other researchers may find some useful ideas in it and come up with better ones in the future. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
