I'm pretty sure it was someone on this list that was asking what Gardenmelde
was/is. This is what I found out from another herb list. I hope it is what
you needed.
Gartenmelde also has the names: Mehlkraut, Wilder Spinat (wild spinach).
Latin name: Atriplex hortensis L. Drug Name: Meldekraut, Herba Atriplicis.
What do you use Gartenmelde for? And - most interesting, what is the
medieval book you are reading? Is it "hortus sanitatis/gart der gesundheit"
by
Peter Schoeffer (1485)? That was the first book about herbs in the German
language. Dagmar aboutherbs at onelist.com >>
