Register or Login to view.It does look a bit like an aardvark because of the extra root-part on the nose, although the plant is named after a pig (some of the less hairy aardvarks do look a bit like pigs).Thank you JKP, I didn't think about it being a pig. The book had one more aardvark/pig looking You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and one that looks like a female You are not allowed to view links.

I've always thought the root of 55v looked like it might be a pig/boar or an elephant.
Some say Cauda porcina is dandelion, others say it's peucedanum, still others say it's saxifrage, all of which are completely different plants. There's not much consistency in the interpretation of this name.
The critter in the belladonna root is a form of demon-dragon that I've seen in numerous manuscripts (not just herbals). It definitely could be associated with toxic plants.

So, begs the questions, are the plants poisonous?
Why the usage of an aardvark?
and what would this animal possibly mean to herbalogy or alchemy?
