Although CONSOLDA MEDIANA and ANAGARICA denote Symphytum officinale L. (cf. →bān-wyrt; Fischer 2001,285 und MED, s.v.[1]) these meanings are not imperative for OE because S. officinale L. does not resemble B. perennis L. in any way. In OE the meaning 'day's eye' is still clearly transparent: cf. etymology. Also cf. Marzell (2000,1,552): "Vgl. nl. wit sonne bloempje [...] sowie den alten N.n. solis oculus und ae. dæges ēage [...] engl. daisy Britt. Holl. 140 ('from its opening and closing its flowers with the daylight')?" Originally OCULUS SOLIS (Dioskorides; cf. Berendes 1902,353) is synonymous with Gk παρϑέιον Matricaria recutita L., scented mayweed, Echte Kamille; or Tanacetum parthenium (L.) Sch. Bip., feverfew, Mutterkraut but a transmission to B. perennis on basis of the similarity of the flower-heads could easily be possible.
Banham (2002,96b), though, adds an interesting thought: she also regards Chrysanthemum leucanthemum, ox-eyed daisy, Wiesen-Margerite as a possible identification and concludes that B. perennis is less common in Middle Ages because its habitat is short grass which was not easily available.
