Register or Login to view.The reason I asked is because, until Koen and Cary produced their results, really no significant trend had been observed by anyone, over the preceding decade. The only known point was (IIRC) a single line cutting across plant stems, and one may be sceptical whether such a detail is significant.
Anyway, now my question is: do these two points hold consistently between plants on A and B pages?
I can't call it a pattern, because not all the plants in Herbal B are made in the same "sloppy" style. On f34v, for example, the leaves are painted a little better, but the paint is still applied thickly in some places.
Another interesting fact is that the plants in Herbal B often resemble each other. As I mentioned @Jorge_Stolfi, the following copying facts can be highlighted:
Sunflowers: f33v-f40v-f48r-f50r
"Burdocks" (I don't know why, but the shape of these plants' flowers reminds me of burdock): f34r-f46v-f50v (maybe)
"Candies": f39v-f40r-f55r
Tubes: f31v-f41v-f55v
There are also local copies: f31r-f43r-f46r (the flowers are copied); f57r-f65v (similar flowers); f31r-f31v-f46r (one-sided plants).
In the "Small Herbal", the plants in part B have a common feature: long stems and a lot of lives: f94r-f95r1-f95v1-f95v2. The latter is similar to the You are not allowed to view links.

That's all I've noticed and what I can say. In fact, there are more such similarities (I mean Herbal A), but they relate more to the general appearance, rather than any specific part.
