Description

  This page contains 3 rows of plants (next to the top edge,
  across the middle, and next to the bottom edge), separated by
  two blocks of text.

  The plant rows contain 5, 3, and 4 plants, respectively. 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 has a "label" written next to it
  (units "L1","L2", and "L3"). From the position of the labels it seems
  pretty clear which label goes with which figure.

  The first block of text (unit P1) consists of a single paragraph
  with 3.6 lines. The second block (unit P2) contains two
  paragraphs, both with 3.8 lines.

  There is a vertical crease in the vellum, about 1cm to the left of
  the fold that separates panels f89v3 and f89v2. The crease extends
  from the second line of the top paragraph down to the bottom edge
  of the page. Eacept for the first line of the first paragraph, the
  text carefully avoids that (clean and undamaged) crease, but runs
  over the (dirty and worn-out) fold as if it was not there.
  The crease has a similar effect on the recto side (page f89r2).

  Near plant [2,3] 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

  [some drawings repeated in herbal]

  [label "odor" from f101v2 mentioned here.]

  From the layout of the text relative to the crease and fold, it
  looks as if the crease was a defect of the vellum, already present
  when the page was written; but the fold was neither present nor
  explicitly planned for.
