  • Comment on (A): Sium latifolium L., greater water-parsnip, Großer Merk

    Cf s.v. →laber. We cannot document AGRIMONIA as a synonym of SION or LAUER; it probably is a reinterpretation of AGRIONE (ACRIONE) which is synonymous with LAUER (cf. André, 1985. s.v.), also cf. CGL 3,540,45: LABER. IDEST ACRIONE.
