  • Comment on (A): Pimpinella L., burnet saxifrage, a species of ~, Anis, eine Art von ~

    Cf. Lindheim's note on Dur 275; the ModE name 'pimpernel' denotes Anagallis L.; Gauchheil[1] therefore this meaning, as provided in BTC, s.v. pipineale, is not correct.

    Etymology: < ML *PIPERĪNELLA (to PIPER 'pepper, Pfeffer'); also cf. Holthausen (1974, s.v. pi­peneale).
