VMs: Botany (f04r) Licorice?

[Dana Scott <dfscott@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There appear to be a number of similarities to Licorice, Glycyrrhiza
glabra, that make for a possible match to the botanical drawing in f04r.

The look and feel are similar and, though it may later prove to be a
plant other than a species of the genus Glycyrrhiza, there is a strong
probability that the plant in the VMS belongs to the Fabacea family of
plants. A word of caution concerning licorice, too much may be hazardous

to your health.
