Cf. ClH, BT, s.v.; their identification is based on the literal translation "flea-wort Flohkraut"; also cf. WW, note on 273,24: "fleawyrt is called in Latin: PSYLLIUM." Gough"s arguements on this (n.23) are not comprehensible.

N.: "Read PAPIRUS." (Cf. also Rusche 1996,682.)
The L lemmata clearly denote water plants (cf. →dy̅þ-hamor, →ēa-docce, →ēa-risc, →risc), therefore the meaning 'fleabane' (= Pulicaria vulgaris Gaertner, Kleines Flohkraut) in the dictionaries[1] can be ruled out. I suspect that these forms are corrupt versions of →fleaþor-wyrt, which is also suggested by the gloss Dur 252 NIMPHA fleathorvyrt.
