  • Comment on (A): Rumex acetosa L., common sorrel, Großer Sauerampfer

    Cf. Hunger (1935,167): XXXIV: OXYLAPATIUM = R. acetosa, and Cockayne (1961,I,133, n.b): "The drawings all intend sorrel: in MS T. is a gloss 'Surdocke.'" Also cf. HA XXXIV: "LAPATIUM ƀ is wududocce"; according to André (1985, s.v. OXYLAPATHUM) it is a description of R. crispus, which rarely is distinguished from R. obtusifolius by common people. 'Wood dock, Walddocke' could be a translation of a former LAPATHUM SILUATICUM or L. AGRESTE, both are synonyms of OXYLAPATHUM (cf. André 1985, s.v. LAPATHUM).
