bridewort
bridewort n. (originally) meadowsweet, Filipendula ulmaria, which has clusters of creamy-white flowers; (in later use also) any of several plants of the genus Spiraea, family Rosaceae (cf. bridal wreath n. 2a). F. ulmaria was previously included in the genus Spiraea. [Apparently so called with reference to its similarity to elements of bridal dress.]
