The Voynich Botanical Plants

Folio 56v, C Sago Palm (Cycas revoluta) is native to the Old World tropics. However, fossils of this palm have been found on almost every continent on the planet. It is an ancient plant that is either male or female. Folio 56v represents a male sago palm with a dying cone. This palm is very slow growing and the trunk can branch multiple times, thus producing multiple heads of leaves. China is reputed to have a 1,000-year-old sago palm. (C)
