This illustration depicts a large, unusual plant. The base consists of three thick, tan-colored, serrated roots or horizontal stems that merge at a central point. From this base, three vertical stalks rise, each bearing a small green bract. These stalks support a single, massive, globose flower head or foliage cluster with a white, scalloped texture—resembling a cauliflower—interspersed with small, five-petaled blue flowers. This combination of realistic and imaginary morphology is characteristic of the manuscript's botanical section.

The script on this page is organized into two distinct paragraphs. It features characteristic Voynichese elements, including "gallows characters" (the tall, looped forms transcribed as p, f, and k) and the frequent repetition of word fragments. In a traditional medieval herbarium (a book of plants), such text would likely provide the plant's name and its various medicinal or culinary uses.
