Quote:The VMS illustrator drew accurate Nymphoides, accurate Ricinus, Tragopogon, Viola, and Phu. Why would he or she draw ginger so completely wrong, a plant that was familiar, a plant that most illustrators got right?

No water lily looks like the Voynich MS drawing, but it looks more than anything like a plain old lily.
Apart from the number of petals.
But that was also draw incorrectly in herbals, as already discussed You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
