VMS -- Botany (f31v) Fernleaf Yarrow

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

Fernleaf Yarrow (Achillea filipendulina) appears to be a very nice match
for f31v. Achillea millefolium is also referenced here; however, the
leaves in A. filipendulina are closer to those drawn in the VMS. The
flowers are clustered into a corymb inflorescence at the top of the
plant. The two flowers/fruit on the left side of the drawing present a
potential problem and need closer scrutiny. Though I am not yet certain,
they may be enlarged (zoomed) views of flowers from the corymb. If this
proves not to be the case, then the Yarrow identification of the plant
may be invalid.
