I think that the vast majority of forum members will agree with me that almost all the herbs we see in the Voynich are invented by the author or authors. There may be some more real and even identifiable ones, but overall these are fantastic plants.
What I want is to share this logical reflection: if it is about fantastic medicinal herbs, what can a text, any text, say about them? The conclusion is that they are indescribable, nothing can be said about them, unless we think that the authors wrote a text with their invented properties, which would lead us to think that they also wrote the same or almost the same on the pages where there are no plants drawn.
I think that this way of looking at it leads us to a reductio ad absurdum (otol everywhere)
