Hi Rob,
The idea is that each plant is associated with a certain Zodiac sign, and that association is manifested by mentioning that Zodiac sign name in the folio where that plant is described.
Insofar each plant is associated with only one (as the hypothesis goes) Zodiac sign, only one Zodiac sign name would occur in a given botanical folio. E.g. if a plant is associated with Aries, then only the word "Aries" would occur in the respective folio, not words "Libra" or "Taurus". However, the word "Aries" may occur more than once in the folio of the plant associated with Aries (why not?)
Each folio should contain one of the Zodiac sign names, there should be no folios which do not mention a Zodiac sign name (let's exclude that outsider folio with only three vords in it).
That's the "ideal case", I think there might be exceptions to these "rules", that's why I speak of the "best effort" approach. Conditional optimization, that's called.
