  • Comment on (A): Lepidium sativum L., garden-cress, Gartenkresse

    Occurrences without further definition most probably refer either to N. officinale or L. sativum.[1]

  • Comment on (A): Nasturtium officinale R.Br., watercress, Brunnenkresse

    BRICIUM and BRITTIA which are glossed with →wylle-cærse are only recorded in OE glosses as plant names (cf. André 1985, s.v. BRITIUM). The interpretation of SINAPIS as cærse is unclear but might result from the special flavour these plants share.
