Register or Login to view. is the actual first plant, but its ID is far from agreed upon. The water lily is f2v. Apparently You are not allowed to view links.

Quote:Scientific interest was primarily focused on the question of the benefits of plants, their effectiveness against diseases and ailments. Botany in today's sense, systematic interest in plants, their structure, did not exist. It was not even known that insects played the decisive role in fertilization. Instead, people believed that plant species could merge into others, that male and female forces were at work. People believed in plant marriages.

Quote:Wikipedia:
The doctrine of signatures was already widely used in antiquity and was already widespread in a prototypical form as a way of thinking in the late Middle Ages, but in its concrete written formulation in Europe it goes back to Paracelsus and the Neapolitan physician and alchemist Giambattista della Porta (1538-1615).
