  • Comment on (A): -, thistle growing in the woods, Diselart mit Standort im Wald

    The OE plant name most likely is a loan translation: cf. HA CXI: CARDUUS SILUATICUS ƀ is wuduþistel and þeos wyrt þe man CARDUUM SYLUATICUM 7 oþrum naman wudu þistel nemneþ. According to Hunger (1935,168) CARDUM SYLUATICUM denotes Sonchus sp., sow thistle, Saudistel[1]. According to André (1985, s.v. CARDUUS) CARDUS SILUATICUS can denote Scolymus maculatus L., Scolymus hispanicus L., golden thistle, Spanische Golddistel; Cardopatium corymbosum Pers., Schirmsaflor and is (probably wrongly) used to denote Anthriscus cerefolium (L.) Hoffm., garden chervil, Garten-Kerbel (in CGL 3,537,32; 609,11). DeVriend (1984,312) and D'Aronco (1998,55) suggest Sonchus oleraceus L., smooth sow thistle, Kohl-Gänsedistel
