Thank you for checking, Marco! Excuse me if this is a stupid question, I don't know much about alchemy, but is it possible that a "concept" of the plant existed in alchemy - related traditions that was separate from the actual plant? And so that folk names for the plant, whatever those may have been, existed in a separate sphere? Unfortunately the herb seems to have been of little interest outside of alchemy, even though especially the wild variety grows profusely in some regions.
