There's no way to know how seriously something has been researched until it is written up. Many medical researchers will study a particular area of research for 20 or 30 years before writing anything up. Not everything can be understood in a few weeks or months.

I've devoted a decade to studying the VMS plants and I already had knowledge of plants before I started and my research goes far beyond individual identifications. I've studied the ecosystems of plants with these particular forms.

Also, Koen, just a suggestion as far as format goes, one large plant per page would not be a good place to start. Many of the herbals most similar to the VMS have two to four plants per page. I would suggest categorizing them by morphology and content rather than by page format.
