In LB 82/21 and 82/27 hēahheoloþe and →eolone occur in the same recipe, therefore we have to assume that the latter denotes a different (smaller?, more common?) Inula species. Hēahheoloþe has to denote a large plant: I. helenium can grow up to two meters in hight. Cf. the NHG name 'Großer Alant' (Marzell 2000,II,1012f).
Storms (1948,323) equates hēahheoloþe with →hind-heoloþe, probably because the LB (7/4ff.) and LA (96/4ff.) record the same recipe, which differs only in this plant name. Petitt (2001,II,l.4) suggests that a "[s]cribal error or auditory confusion might explain the differing first elements hind- and heah-."
Etymology: hēah- = 'high, hoch'; -heoloþe: cf. s.v. LINKTO [heoloþe].
