VMS -- Botany (f05v) Agrimony

["Dana F. Scott" <dfscott@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The characteristics of Agrimonia eupatoria compare well to the plant
drawing a f05v, except for the mysterious loop in the VMS drawing that
looks somewhat like the eye of a needle. Maybe it is a purposeful
illusion or change in the shape of the plant, but I doubt that it is a
mistake in the drawing. Both the flowers and the leaves look very good.
The root base and stem loop are a bit of a concern. Maybe this is an
unidentified subspecies, but it looks pretty close to the drawing.
