The name 'field-madder' is most suitable for G. mollugo L.: cf. the vernacular names in ModE 'wild madder' (Britten / Holland, s.v. madder) and in NHG 'Wild Röte, Wilde Färberröte' (Marzell 2000,2,582). But this identification is doubtful as we have not enough historical references to prove it.

As recorded in the dictionaries, cf. BT, CH, MED. In Agnus Castus 201,32 feld madere translates ROS MARINUS but Brodin (1950,243) does not comment on the vernacular name.
This identification[1] is based on the L lemma but it is highly doubtful because the literal meaning of the OE lemma is 'field-madder' (cf. →mædere) and clearly points towards a wild dyeing plant, it does not suit the meaning 'R. officinalis'. Ledum palustre L., labrador-tea, Sumpf-Porst suggested by Lindheim (1941, note on Dur 290) is not a dyeing plant either.
