Swallowtail merlons... or provenance
#35
I wouldn't discount the possibility of emblems in the plants... they might be there.

But the root that you displayed may be a mnemonic for the plant. There are many plants with the name snake-something (like snake-root) and also many plants specifically used to treat snake-bite, both of which often have snake roots in herbal manuscripts.
