Probably related to L ERUCA, Eruca sativa L. (cf. André, s.v.)?

Cont.: mucgwyrt and drige to duste and do þær aecern to, oþþer hwætena flysma; mengc togædera, meng þar þanne hunig to and wynberigea coddes; L text (Renzi 1856,iv,221): ARTEMISIA ANA MENSURA FACIT PULVEREM, ET MISCEBIS CUM GLANDIS FARINA ET ERUCE, VEL VITIS ET FRUMENTI CUM MELLE. Cf. s.v. æcern.
Not recorded in BT(SC); cf. MED, s.v. flysma (only record is the occurrence from PD), suggests "wheaten bran(?)" probably following Cockayne's translation (1962,III,123/12). In the L text the most problable correspondents of hwætena flysma are FARINA and FRUMENTI (cf. an example from the St. Galler Antidotar: FRUMENTI FARINA 'Weizenmehl'; Sigerist 1923,93). L ERUCE is not clear in this context,[1] therefore some contradictions concerning our analysis s.v. →æceren still remain.
