a) the root/herbal drawings:
I think I am seeing herbals
in particular small plants
all plant have roots which are brown colored
and the roots seem to get focus because the plants seems to be drawn casually
especially on You are not allowed to view links.

b) the containers:
there are some "general" containers which are drawn casual, even without coloring
but also there are very fancy containers
some containers have labels
c) identification:
Are there roots that can be identified without doubt? for example ginger, onion, carrot
I see a possible ginger. But I am not familiar with the "common medieval" roots,
perhaps there is a list of common roots as a starting point.
Culpeper has such a list but he did not focus on the roots alone in his books.
But perhaps I should double check that.
d) relation to other pages:
What is the relation of the root pages towards all the other pages?
Are these pages stand-alone. I don't think there are stand-alone based on You are not allowed to view links.

On the other hand, why aren't there references (visual or textual) to the containers in the other text ?
