(Currier) # * Subsets: H (Rene), heb (Stolfi) # * Subject: herbal # * Colors: blue,yellow,brown (Reeds) # * Plant: 116 (Petersen) # # Description: # # One plant occupies the bottom 2/3 of the page. # # Roots: four thin stalks, arcing down, each ending with a tuber shaped like # a chili pepper pod. The tubers are almost horizontal, pointing outwards, # and resemble four feet wearing pointy shoes. # * Stem: short and thick, dark-painted very crudely . # * Branches: none. # * Leaves: each leaf consists of a dense stack of parallel leaflets. # curled inwards. The distal leaflets are bigger, so that the leaf # is shaped like a truncated cone, with the narrow end down. # Very weird-looking. Alternate leaflets are dark-painted. # Stalks: about as long as the stem, slightly S-shaped. # * Flowers: two, one on each side. # Stalks: medium long, thin, slightly curve, branching off # diagonally from each the leaf axilla. Chalix: olive-shaped, # with short, flaring, triangular sepals; medium-dark. # Petals: triangular, dark. Core: not visible. # # Above the plant there are three paragraphs (with 4.6, 2.8, 4.9 # lines, respectively), flush with the top, left, and right margins. # The last line is interrupted by the plant. # # There is a faint scribbling to the left of the root. It looks like # an illegible word surmounted by a large EVA "l", followed by a very # crude stick man with rectangular head and eyes, wearing two # superimposed EVA "l"s as a hat. Rene [04 Apr 1999] reports that # the lines of this scribble are thin. # # Rene [04 Apr 1999] also remarks that there was a faded/erased # folio number on this page. # # The bottom edge of the page has an indentation, about 1cm deep # near the middle of the edge, extending from there to the SW corner. # # There is a mark in the SE corner, resembling "8" with superscript # "ug". # # Comments: # # The plant looks very strange and inelegant, it was very poorly # drawn. # # Since the roots barely touch the edge of this tear, without # crossing it, we can presume that the the defect was already there # when the plant was drawn.. # # The mark in the SE corner is almost surely the quire number, "8th" # in abbreviated Latin. # # References: # # # Last edited on DATE TIME by USER
