  • Comment on (A): Artemisia vulgaris L., mugwort, Gewöhnlicher Beifuß

    It seems that three species of plants were denoted by the OE plant name. Hunger (1935,167): XI: ARTEMISIA = A. vulgaris L.; also cf. André (1985, s.v.) and following him D'Aronco (1998,49).

    Etymology: lit. 'gnat-wort, Mückenkraut'; it refers to the fact that flies and gnats like to settle down on A. vulgaris; cf. the use of the plant: "In Norddeutschland hängt man ab und zu in den Stuben Bündel der Pflanze auf, an die sich dann abends die Fliegen in großer Zahl setzen. Hierauf zieht man schnell einen Sack über die Pflanze, sodaß die Fliegen gefangen sind." (Hegi 1906,VI,637). Also cf. the NHG popular names: Fliegenkraut, Müggerk, Muggart, Mugwurz (Pritzel / Jessen 1886,45).

  • Comment on (B): Tanacetum vulgare (L.) Sch. Bip., tansy, Rainfarn

    Cf. André (1985, s.v.) and following him D'Aronco (1998,49); but erroneously Hunger (1935,167): XII: ARTEMISIA TAGANTES = A. Dracunculus L; equally deVriend (1984,290).

  • Comment on (C): Artemisia campestris L., field wormwood, Feld-Beifuß

    Cf. André (1985, s.v.) and following him D'Aronco (1998,49); but cf. Hunger (1935,167): XIII: ARTEMISIA LEPTAFILOS = A. pontica L.
