[Sca-cooks] pellitory

[Susanne Mayer]

Hello all, have not been to my computer in a while:

got curious and stared searching, also to find out what it is in German (Bertramkamille use as root / wurzel)
I did find two different plants:

Pellitory of Spain  Anthemis pyrethrum from Algeria, cultivated also in Germany
and Pellitory of the wall Parietaria officinalis (LINN.) from Britain 

Here are the links to a online culpeper version:

Link to a 19th cent apothecary lexicon

link to the slightly OOP herbal of Tabermontanus

http://www.kraeuter.ch/

one I have to look into more closely as I could not find Pellitor or bertram at first glance in there

> Tony Hunt, in the "Index of vernacular names" of his "Plant names of Medieval England" - 1989 - gives these entries, which refer to the articles of his book. (In this book, he provides pairs of old vernacular plant names together with their pre-Linnean latin counterparts and suggestions, which plant of the modern system was probably meant.)
