The Voynich Botanical Plants

Folio 33v. Winter aconite (Eranthis heymalis). This is the folio the botanist Hugh O’Neill, identified as a sunflower, dating the VM to a post Columbus date, which from the carbon dating results is incorrect. I feel confident that this folio represents the small tuberous plant, winter aconite, that is one of the first plants in alpine regions to flower in the spring. It is a member of the ranunculaceae family and all parts of the plant are poisonous. (B)
