  • Comment on (A): ? Humulus lupulus L., hop, Gewöhnlicher Hopfen

    Cf. Bonser (1963,326): "Presumably the herb hymele was also known to have two sexes, since the female (eowo-humele) occurs in a prescription." Also cf. p.359ff; and Storms (1975, glossary).

  • Comment on (B): ? Bryonia L., bryony, a species of ~, Zaunrübe, eine Art von ~

    Cf. Hunger (1935,167): LXIX: Breonia = Tamus communis L., black bryony, Schmerwurz; cf. the old names VITIS NIGRA = T. communis L. and VITIS ALBA = Bryonia alba L. (cf. Marzell 2000,I,683). Like Bryonia T. communis is a climbing plant.

  • Comment on (C): ? Trifolium campestre Schreb., hop trefoil, Feld-Klee

    VOLLULA = UOLUULA = CONUOLUULUS, Convolvulus sepium L., bindweed, Zaunwinde; YNANTES = OENANTHE, Clematis vitalba L., old man's beard, Echte Waldrebe (cf. Andre 1985, s.vv.).

  • Comment on (E): Asplenium trichomanes L., maidenhair spleenwort, Silikatliebender gewöhnlicher Streifenfarn, ,

    D'Aronco (1998,52) bases her identification on the illustration of the herb and on André. She also suggests our meaning B (1998,73).
