  • Comment on (A): Lamium L., dead-nettle, a species of ~, Taubnessel, eine Art von ~

    The name most likely refers to L. album. The identification is based on the ModE plant name 'blind nettle', which additionally denotes Galeopsis tetrahit L.; common hemp nettle, Gewöhnlicher Hohlzahn; and Stachys silvaticus L., hedge woundwort; Wald-Ziest (cf. Britten / Holland 1886,51). The name refers to the nettle-like leaves that do not sting.

  • Comment on (B): Melissa officinalis L., balm, Zitronenmelisse

    Wynn emends ACCINTU to ACANTUM, which (as ACANTON, etc.) is glossed by →bēowyrt; from all possible identifications M. officinalis is suited best because the plant is a labiate like Lamium L., what is more, the plants share several names (cf. Marzell 2000,3,129).
