Summary
This page shows are several pairs of plant drawings in the VMS that are significantly similar, in whole or in part. Not just the same plant, but the same pose and perspective.
Typically, the good match exists only for some parts of the two plants (such as roots and leaves), while the other parts are completely different.
The images on this page are from the Beinecke Library 2014 scans of the VMS.
Matches between Herbal and Pharma
These are matches between the Herbal sections ("hea", "heb") and the Pharma section ("pha").
The Pharma versions are all concentrated on two folios. Two matches are on page f89v3 (that spans panels v3 and v2). The rest are on folio f102, one on the verso side (panel f102v1), the others on the recto side (f102r1 and f102r2).
In all cases, all the parts of the Pharma version (usually a root, sometimes with leaves) have a good match to the corresponding parts of the Herbal page, which however contains additional parts (like flowers or fruits) of unknown source.
The Herbal f32v also matches its Pharma f102r2 version on the flower, besides root and leaves. However one should consider the possibility that the flower of the Pharma version is a later addition.
The notation "_R:C" for Pharma pages means row R of plants from the top, plant number C from the left (both counting from 1).
