Cf. the note on Ep, Erf 584.

In ClSt L 61(WW 432,37) directly adjacent to LEGYTHUM croh, a term for "pot".

The DOE notes: "? for crocca".
Cf. BTC, s.v. crocc. L LAGENA denotes 'pot, crock, Gefäß' and not a plant. Possibly the gloss was inserted between plant names bacause of the similarity between the OE words for crock and saffron, this is no sufficient reson to attribute the meaning 'saffron' to LAGENA. For similar examples cf. the occurrences s.v. →croh: Ep, Erf[1], Cp, Ld, ClSt[2]. The identification with 'saffron' is most likely wrong but cf. our discussion s.v. →crohha.
