Identification

This page is the outermost recto panel of a four-panel fold-out.

Attention: the RZCD image may be wrong.

Attributes

Root: a very broad tuber, like a fat pancake with a mostly light

upper surface and dark edge.  The "pancake" is slightly bent with
left and right edges higher than the middle. A ring of 15 "fat
mousetail" roots --- dark, short and S-shaped --- sprout from the
edge; they seem to support the "pancake" like the legs of a
table. The three ones in front are much thicker than the 12 in the
back.  (Note that if the thick roots were split in two, there will
be 18 roots, close to the 19 of f39r.)

Stem: many short straight stems sprout separately from the top surface

of the "pancake". Each stem ends with a leaf and flower; the
longer ones have additional leaves attached to them.

Branches: occasional short branches, each having a

single leaf and flower at the tip.

Leaves: two spindle-shaped leaves fused at the base, forming a

"V" with fat arms and pointed tips.  No leaf stalks.

Flowers: one per branch.

Stalk: longish.  Chalyx: spindle-shaped, with smooth rim.  Petals
and core: none.

An almost identical copy of this drawing appears on f39r. This one is drawn with less skill and/or care. The root shape is more irregular, its top surface is medium dark, and the flowers have only a flat circle in place of the corolla and core. Also the flowers sprout from the tip of each stem or branch.
