although wormwood wasn't mentioned for a couple of books after the U.A. was written. I think the general plotline is probably the most likely parallel to look for,

If Snicket claims he knew how the books would turn out from the start, I'd say wormwood would be a good bet. Plus, the other books in his commonplace book didn't nessasarily follow a plotline.

I suspect that Lemony meant to include an extract from the book in his commonplace book - as he does with all the other books on Kit's list - and was prevented from doing so for copyright reasons.

Green Mansions is an actual book, and was put in there, it was just retyped.

Oh I know - quite a lot of the books quoted are real, certainly the ones about Ramona and Laura. But I'm thinking that in teh case of Matilda permission may have been refused for some reason.

Probably. Matilda is considerably more popular. Green Mansions was just the first one that came to mind.
