What I have learned from studying the small plants is that the botanical information is often concentrated in the leaves in general: their shape, margin, and I guess also the veins, though this will be much more important in the large plants so I'll take JKP's word on this....

Searcher, the Tarasque/Tarask is a very specific monster.
It is related to the legend of St. Martha (she tamed it). There are many different interpretations of it, but most of them will give it a humpback or turtle-back. The face varies greatly, sometimes a turtle face (flat), sometimes a dragon or muzzled face (long and narrow). The legs also vary, sometimes four, sometimes six. Sometimes it's spiny, sometimes hairy. They still celebrate it.
