  • Comment on (A): -, fern species, Farnart

    OE fern denotes several fern species: the L HA as a description of Asplenium L., spleenwort, Streifenfarn, cf. Hunger (1935,167): Ch. LXXIX: FILIX = Asplenium sp.; also cf. →eofor-fearn.

  • Comment on (B): ? Pteridium aquilinium (L.) Kuhn, bracken, Adlerfarn

    Cf. →fearn, micle; according to Cockayne (1961,III,325) Dryopteric filix mas (L.) Schott, male fern, Wurmfarn but more probable P. aquilinum, which can grow up to 2m in height; also cf. NHG Groß-Farnkraut, P. aquilinum (Pritzel / Jessen 1967,319), and →eofor-fearn.
