# Description:
#
#   One plant, occupying the right half of the page, spanning from 
#   top edge to bottom edge.
#
#   Two paragraphs (unit µ{P}) with 6.0 and 6.8 lines at the top of
#   the page, left-justified and following the plant's outline on the
#   right.
#
#   There is a mark at the SE corner, looking like "29" with 
#   a descending "9".   Rene [04 Apr 1999] reports that it is 
#   barely darker than the text.
#
#   The leaves of the plant are painted with strong red tempera around
#   the edges, leaving a round unpainted area in the middle. The
#   flower is painted with watercolor in varying shades of grayish
#   blue-green; the top petal has a more vivid color and a "dry brush"
#   texture. A spindle-shaped lane down the middle of each petal is
#   left unpainted. The flower's core is painted with transparent
#   light golden yellow, the surrounding ring being left unpainted.
#   The root is painted with ocher watercolor.  The paint seems to
#   have been applied with moderate care.
#
# Comments:
#
#   The peculiar color of the leaves and flowers may be due to 
#   the painter mistaking one for the other, on account of their
#   shapes.
#
#   The mark at the SE corner is almost surely the quire number, "2nd"
#   in abbreviated Latin.
