It should be noted that Lunaria annua occasionally shows brownish leaves in the late growth stage.

Register or Login to view.Does anyone know if any of the medieval sources include vernacular names for lunaria?As far as I know, there are two types of Lunaria. There is on the one hand the biennial, variant ( Lunaria annua ), which grows today mainly in gardens. On the other hand there is the wild, perennial species ( Lunaria rediviva ). I would speculate that in the Middle Ages the Lunaria rediviva was more widespread. So probably this species was meant when for example a Lunaria was depicted in a manuscript. But this is, as said, a speculation. Against it speaks that the naming listed by you (Silbertaler, Silberling, Judaspfennig ...) probably rather refers to the Lunaria annua.
