Comparing Figures

Submitted by ewinter on Fri, 02/15/2019 - 15:18

At first glance, the replica of the original diagram is quite accurate.  Upon further inspection, there are some noticeable differences.  The font of the text is different, so it was likely not specified.  The letters are also misplaces, for example, the C touches the bottom of the figure, whereas the B does not.  This likely means that it was done by hand.  There is a noticeable difference in leaf color in box A.  In this same box, there is a leaf from another plant overhanging the frame that is in differing orientations.  These combined observations lead me to believe that the side from which to photograph the plant was not specified.  For boxes B and C, the picture is noticeably closer to the flower in the second figure.  This could be the result of a lack of specificity, but could also be the result of measurement inaccuracies.
