Talk:Meadowsweet

Now considered to be in Filipendula. The article needs to be edited. WormRunner | Talk 14:53, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Etymology

In the article: "The name ulmaria means "elmlike", an odd epithet as it does not resemble the elm (Ulmus) in any way."

The leaves are a bit like the leaves of elm, which is where the name comes [1]

There needs to be some specific reference for the taxonomical confusion. I am unsure if there is a different species called meadowsweet at spirea alba, or not. Philthecoffeejerk 20:24, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
