The trouble is that there is no reason for a 'dragon' to appear there. The image had a specific tradition and those meanings just aren't conveyed bya dragon nibbling a leaf.
It's got to be some other animal, and we're projecting a dragon into it.

It could be a camel. But I don't think the beast is put here to give a clue to the plant name.
