Historical Definition

Laudina is angelica.

Meaning

The compiler provides a name by which the plant can be recognised, but no description or species-level determination. The equivalent belongs to this historical vocabulary of herbs.

Use in the Book

Peucedamum is identified more specifically as English angelica. Its added geographical word should be retained rather than imported into the shorter Laudina definition.

Places to Read

Peucedamum. A plant identified through the English angelica name.
