  • Comment on (A): Sambucus ebulus L., dwarf-elder, Attich

    Lit. 'elder wort; Holunderkraut'; in contrast to Sambucus nigra S. ebulus is a herb and not a bush/tree. Cf. Hunger (1935,168): Ch. XCIV: EBULUM = S. Ebulus L.; CAMEACTE = Gk χαμαιάκτη ', low elder, niedriger Holunder' (cf. Dioskorides IV,175). ALLEUUS (or ALLENUS) is not clear; probably it is an error for ALLENUS 'elboe, Ellenbogen'[1]. Due to an earlier confusion CAMESETE (= CHAMAESYCE, Chamaesyce maculata (L.) Small, spotted spurge, Gefleckte Wolfsmilch) is synonymous with CAMEACTE (S. ebulus) in HA (HS 92,22): A GRAECIS DICITUR CAMAESICE, [...] ALII CAMEACTS [...] ITALI EBULUM. For SAMSUCON cf. →cyninges-wyrt.
