  • Comment on (A): Chelidonium majus L., greater celandine, Schöllkraut

    In ML CHELIDONIA (MINOR) could also denote R. ficaria (cf. André 1985, s.v.).

    Etymology: L CELIDONIA.

  • Comment on (B): Ranunculus ficaria L., lesser celandine, Gewöhnliches Scharbockskraut

    Based on medical indications Pettit (2001,LXXVII,605) assumes for this occurrence (LA, 156/18) that the plant name denotes Ranunculus ficaria L., lesser celandine, Gewöhnliches Scharbockskraut, which was used against haemorrhoids for centuries, Ch. majus L. was used against warts and corns.
