DROPWORT , in botany, the common name for a species of Spiraea, S. filipendula (nat. ord. Rosaceae) , found in dry pastures. It is a perennial herb, with much divided
radical
  leaves and an erect
stem
  2 to 3 ft. high bearing a loose terminal inflorescence of small
white
 
flowers
 , closely resembling those of the nearly allied species S. Ulmaria, or meadowsweet.

Umbelliferae
 ), is a tall herbaceous plant growing in marshes and ditches. The
stem
 , which springs from a cluster of thickened roots, is stout, branched, hollow and 2 to 5 ft. high; the leaves are large and pinnately divided, and the
flowers
  are borne in a compound umbel, the
long
  rays bearing dense partial umbels of small
