Comment on (A): Centaurium erythraea Rafn., common centaury, Echtes Tausendgüldenkraut
-
Comment on (B): Blackstonia perfoliata (L.) Huds., yellow-wort, Durchwachsener Bitterling
A probable meaning for HA and LA; cf. comment on C. erythraea.
-
Comment on (B): Centaurea L., knapweed, a species of ~, Flockenblume, eine Art von ~
D'Aronco (1998,51) suggests Centaurea centaurium L. for the HA; the plant is a native of South Italy, and was probably substituted with locally available plants by the Anglo-Saxons. Also cf. →curmealle, seo māre.

Leonhardi reads gealla.
Especially cf. LB 56/32: Nim centaurian, þæt is felterre, sume hataþ hyrdewyrt sume eorþgeallan and 61/14: hirdewyrt, þæt is eorþgealla. This meaning is not possible for HA (cf. s.v. →curmealle) and LA.[1] Neither the lemma GIGARTIA (? = GIGARTA 'grape kernel, Weinbeerkern", cf. André, s.v.) nor OXILAPATIUM (→docce) go with eorþgealla; an exlanation for the erroneous gloss OXILAPATIUM could be that in the L HA the chapter HERBA LAPATIVM ACVTVM (= OXILAPATIUM; Howald / Sigerist 1927, ch. 33) directly precedes the chapter on CENTAVRIA MAIOR (ch. 34), respective C. MINOR (ch. 35). On LIMINUTIS cf. CGL 3,567,33: LIMINUTIS.I. CENTAURIA; the other five interpretamenta recorded in Meritt 67 can also be found there but without OE glosses.[2]
Lit. 'earth-gall, Erdgalle' it is a loan translation of L FEL TERRAE (= C. erythraea) and refers to the plant's bitter taste, cf. Pritzel / Jessen (1967,146): NHG Erdgall, Ertgalle, etc. The vernacular OE name is →hyrde-wyrt.
