Not recorded in ClH. L lemma and gloss are not recorded anywhere else; L ORTIGIA is the phonetically most similar word, it denotes Plantago maior L. or P. psyllium L. (cf. André 1985,s.v. ORTYGIA), equally ORIDIA, which denotes Oryza sativa L., rice, Reis (cf. André 1985,s.v. ORYZA).
Maybe not a botanical term: Rusche (1996, 689-690) refers to Meritt (1968,54-5), who "suggests that the lemma is actually ORGIA, which appears in EE (377.21) and Corpus (O260) with the gloss mysteria Bachi. He suggests that the gloss should be read with the first part as Lat. SUNT and the second as OE reow (hreoh), 'wild, furious', since ORGIA is described elsewhere as celebrated PER FUROREM. In support of Meritt's theory is Servius's commentary on Aeneid 4.302: SED IAM ABUSIVE SACRA LIBERI ORGIA VOCANTUR, VEL ἀπὸ της ὀργης, ID EST A FURORE; VEL ἀπὸ τὡν ὁρἑων, EX SILVIS.' The phrase A FURORE here supports Meritt's suggestion, and the confusion which led to the present form of the gloss, which looks like 'sun-tree,' may have been furthered by the phrase EX SILVIS."
