Register or Login to view.One could interpret these drawings as being a clever combination of roots from one plant and leaves from another to communicate a particular message.
If one breaks down the individual plants into their components ( root, stem, leaf and flower ) and sees each of these parts as an independent "unit", then your assumption is quite justified.

And given that the elements clearly are present in the illustration, patterns can be seen when they correspond to what is known about historical reality. The patterns are present; it's their interpretations that have been absent.

Register or Login to view.Some of the plants, for example f19v, f39v, show clear discontinuities between root and stem, i.e. a flat section at the top of the root with the stem apparently separate but 'stuck into' the root. Most plants in the VM do not look like this, they have continuous root-to-stem, even if the colour changes and the root bulges or flattens before the stem.
I wondered whether these root-stem discontinuities might represent grafting, where a scion (the young shoot of a plant) is grafted onto a different rootstock?
