Classification[edit]

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

Etymology[edit]

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). Meadowsweet was in the Spireas but is now reclassified as Filipendula, neither Spirea Alba or Filipendula Alba seem to be listed. As for the naming as Ulmaria it is vastly unlikely to be named after the N American Slippery Elm just because both contain some salyciates, it is most likely that similarity of leaf shape to common European Elm that would be noted by the scientific namers so I am removing some implausible and un-verified detail from the main text[reply]

Uses[edit]

In this sentence "This plant contains the chemicals used to make Aspirin, a small section of root, when peeled and crushed smells like Germaline, and when chewed is a good natural remedy for relieving headaches", I believe the author is referring to Germolene. Phersh (talk) 19:14, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the sentence could do with a rewrite, as it's far from clear. There seem to be two statements: "the plant contains the chemicals used to make aspirin" and "a section of root ... smells like Germolene"; what is the connection between the two? Are the chemicals contained in the root? 86.149.153.198 (talk) 20:23, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mention in Chaucer[edit]

and in Chaucer's The Knight's Tale it is known as Meadwort and was one of the ingredients in a drink called "save." Has anybody got a definitive reference to this. I've searched the entire Tales in both modern and middle english for medword, meadwort and save. Nothing turns up. The drink Mead itself is mentioned a few times but Meadowsweet seems to be missing.

Cite said "Musca" which is very broad, but also mentioned Calliphoridae. Please double-check. Kortoso (talk) 17:48, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
