Description

  This page contains 4 rows of plants (roughly next to the top edge,
  1/3 down, 2/3 down, and next to the bottom edge).

  The plant rows contain 4, 2, 6, and 4 plants, respectively. Plant
  [1,4] has a long tapering root that runs down the right margin and
  ends near the bottom right corner (which is torn off). Crammed
  into the left margin, next to each row of plants, is a
  "container"---an object resembling a decorated jar with pedestal.

  Each container and each plant (except plant [3,6]) has a "label"
  written next to it (units "L1","L2", "L3", and "L4"). From the
  position of the labels it seems pretty clear which label goes with
  which figure.

  The plant rows are separated by three paragraphs with 2.8, 3.6,
  and 6.0 lines (units "P1", "P2", and "P3").  The first three lines
  of aragraph 3 are indented as if to leave space for a capital letter,
  but that space is occupied by the root of plant [3,1]

  There is a faint vertical crease in the vellum, about 1cm to the
  right of the fold that separates panels f89r2 and f89r3, and
  extending across the whole height of the page. The third paragraph
  (but not the other two) is crease, but runs over the fold as if it
  was not there. The crease and the fold are more conspicuous on the
  verso side (page f89v2).

  In the second line of paragraph 2 there seems to be a slit-like
  defect in the vellum, flanked by two alternating rows of dots.
  This defect is visible on the verso side too.

Comments

  [long root and leaves of [1,4] may match solatrium's; check!]

  The vellum defect on paragraph 2 sems to be a slit in the vellum
  that was at one time closed by sewing. If this interpretation is
  correct, then the thread is gone, and the alternating dots are 
  the stitch holes.
