Re: VMs: f56r & f56v (WAS: 1006184 & 1006185)

	At the risk of being a bore, let me ask again. 
Medieval herbals were often drawn from classical
herbals that had been distorted by generations of
copying.  Those in turn were not necessarily of local
flora.  So they weren't necessarily drawn from life.   

	Rene long ago said that the VMs herbal drawings also
don't resemble known distorted medieval drawings.  Can
anyone give more detail?

	Of course, fantasy plants don't have to be realistic. 
The VMs could be outsider art.  Although even there the
plants could have had a real-life inspiration.
