Remember, in Baresch's time, German botanists and herbalists were the most eminent in Europe - meaning they had studied the range of older 'Dioscoridan' works as well as the contemporary science - and they couldn't identify any, apparently.
Do you have evidence for that Diane? That they tried to ID the plants, or that they were unable to ID the plants?
The impression I got, from the tiny bit of correspondence that is available, is that they were primarily interested in the text. That appears to be one of the main reasons they put it into Kircher's hands, who had a reputation for languages and "hieroglyphics" (which was a more general term for foreign scripts in those days, not necessarily just Egyptian) rather than giving it to, or even having mentioned, any of the pre-eminent botanists (some of whom were in their circle of friends).
