Probably Vicenza, Biblioteca Bertoliana, Ms 320 M a.k.a. MS G.23.2.3 (362), the few pages that are available online look very similar. Cute little dachshund-dragon hybrid.   Member details

So going by Marco's translation, we're looking at Herba Bazea minor and Herba Paroiscas / Paroischas / Paroyschas. Both used for healing snake bites. So it looks like the dragon is merely a stand-in for the snake.
With all these alchemical herbals in existence, there might be one with a dragon in a position and shape very much like ours. The bizarre thing would then be that the makers of the VM, not the most gifted in perspective, apparently decided to show the plant "whorl" from a completely different view, and not unsuccessfully. Whatever the connection may be, I don't think it will be a simple one... Member details

basilisks are probably of interest too, not sure if they make much of an appearance in herbal pages usually
