  • Comment on (A): Conium maculatum L., hemlock, Gefleckter Schierling

    The L plant names were not strictly distinguished in old herbals (cf. Marzell 2000,1,999). The lemma CONIZA can also denote other plant names (e.g. Inula conyzae (Griess.) Meikle, ploughman's spikenard, Dürrwurz) but Fischer (2001,264) records CONISA as name for C. virosa and C. maculatum (probably a mistake for CONIUM). LEPTOPHYLLOS denotes Euphorbia or Artemisia species (cf. André 1985,s.v.) and does not match our identification - but it might be an error for CHAIREPHYLLON which denotes Anthriscus sylvestris (L.) Hoff., Queen Anne's lace, Gewöhnlicher Wiesen-Kerbel (an old name is CICUTARIA) and shares several names with C. maculatum. We have to note that the preceding gloss in Br is CINOGLOSSA ribbe which relates to the gloss CANIS LINGUA ribbae that precedes CICUTA hymlic in Ep-Erf. Therefore it is possible that SEPTEFILOS was part of a different gloss, maybe Erf 279 CARTAMO lypbcorn (a Euphorbia species), which again precedes Erf 280 CYNOGLOSSA ribbas.
