Pollington (2000,122) suggests Inula pulicaria L. which is Pulicaria vulgaris Gärtn., small fleabane, Kleines Flohkraut. He seems to confuse both plants, Inula conyzae and P. vulgaris based on the G plant name Dürrwurz as mentioned by Cockayne. For P. vulgaris this G name is only recorded in the 18th century and s.v. Pulicaria dysenterica Bernh. Marzell (cf. 2000,III,1177) explicitly notes that G Dürrwurz is mostly attributed to I. conyzae because of its preferred habitat on dry ground, the Pulicaria species prefer a wet habitat.
