Grattan / Singer translate "red chervil".
The plant name reade fille, T. serpyllum because of its rose coloured flowers, indicates that different species were distinguished; T. vulgaris (→fille) has white flowers (cf. Polunin 1997, no.1163, no.1164.). The name →wudu-fille, reade does not contradict this interpretation. Pettit (2001, glossary) suggests wild thyme (Thymus praecox Opitz subsp. arcticus (Durand) Jalas) as other possible native thyme species.
