  Some of them are too small to be letters, normal retraces and others may be just pareidolias. But there are very good cases.
  My collection of Hidden text in Plants:
  
     
  
     
  
     
  
     
  
     
  Couldn't post them individually their original res, they were too many.
  Hope it is useful. Have a nice day.)

  One cannot say much about the whole collection, because there are many very different types of "hidden texts"  there.  
  
  The first thing you should do is separate 

  • "definitely words or letters written in ink" (and separate "Voynichese" from "Latin"), 
    
  • "detached bits of brown ink that could be writing"
    
  • "plants, stains, and paint splotches shaped like letters"
    

  
  Even within each of these categories there may be different explanations for each case.
  
  All the best, --stolfi

  As Jorge says your "collection" is a mixed bag.
  
  1)
   Some are real text in Latin script. They seem to be markers of colors. Such things appear in a lot of other manuscripts
  See the full list here: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
  
  The interesting thing about them is that they appear in first 20 pages or so and then completely dissappear. There is a theory that the artist was mindlessly copying them from some source until some boss noticed it and told him not to do so 
  
  2) 
  Some are most probably pareidolia - random blobs that our mind tries hard to interpret as letters
  
  3)
   Voynich "L" that puzzles you is the way people at some moment wrote "4" number. And "9" was a scribal abbreviation for "us". So the text means 4us - the same as 4th in English and is the number of quire
  
  4)
  Some are indeed mysterious like hidden numbers??? in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

  Taking a look a f2r, are these text/images or are they pareidolia? To my eye it clearly looks to be faded text, different from the other leaves. 
  
     
  
  I see something like "orer" next to the more obvious voynichese, and my english/dutch speaking eye wants to make the middle into , "Tripish", "Tropish" or "Tropesh". I also see what looks like an ornamental A at the bottom, but I don't know. 
  
  Once I saw a bird in a nest, i couldn't unsee it and couldn't resist pointing it out   
  
  Maybe the plant is a tree?  
  
  (The bottom images are the same image imposed over itself, with contrast and brightness on the top layer being adjusted)

  The top one is definitely real although voynichese.com doesn't mark it.
  I can see ionanon
  This would be a word in Voynichese but a very weird word
  
  As for the others I am not sure. Maybe there was something but it was erased??? Where is that ultraviolet lamp when we need it?  
  
  There is also probably something in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. but too much covered in paint to be readable:
