Glossed SPARAGRIS AGRESTIS by a hand of the 13th cent.; Cockayne and Leonhardi read SPARAGIA AGRESTIS.
A confusion with wuducerfille is most likely: wudufille is a short form of →wudu-cerfille which normally translates SPARAGRIS AGRESTIS. The name 'red wood chervil, roter Waldkerbel' could refer to the red bulbous berries of A. officinalis (cf. the G name Koralkraut, Marzell 2001,I,465). Pettit (2001, glossary) also suggests Daucus carota L., wild carrot, Karotte as a possible identification.
