  • Comment on (A): Primula elatior (L.) Hill, oxlip, Hohe Schlüsselblume

    Cf. OE →cū-slyppe, and ModE ox-lip, P. elatior (Britten / Holland 1886,364). A recipe in Lacnunga (Grattan / Singer 1952,148/24), which lists both names indicates that even in Anglo-Saxon times oxanslyppe and →cū-slyppe were used to denote different Primula species. Also cf. NED: "Ox [...] 6.b. In names of plants [...] denatea a coarse or large species)". In terms of height P. elatior is the larger species.

    Etymology: cf. →cū-slyppe.
