The Voynich Botanical Plants

Folio 39r. Wallflower/gillyflower (Erysimum). Hortus Sanitatis states that “the flowers smell like violets and the yellow ones are the best in medicine. Juice of the flowers put in the eyes takes away the wicked specks there in. Water of the distilled flowers drunk noon and night for 3 to 4 weeks doth cause women to be fruitful. It is good for all hard labor in childbirth, paralysis, dropsy and the chaps which are in the seat.” (2) (B)
