WHAT DOES ARNICA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

arnica

Arnica

Arnica /ˈɑrnɨkə/ is a genus with about 30 perennial, herbaceous species, belonging to the sunflower family. The genus name Arnica may be derived from the Greek arna, "lamb", in reference to the soft, hairy leaves. This circumboreal and montane genus occurs mostly in the temperate regions of western North America, while two are native to Eurasia. Arnica used to be included in the tribe Senecioneae because it has a flower or pappus of fine bristles. This was soon questioned and Nordenstam placed it tentatively in tribe Heliantheae s.l. This arrangement also became uncertain because of the sesquiterpene lactone chemistry in certain species. Lately Arnica was placed in an unresolved clade together with Madiinae, Eupatorieae, Heliantheae s.s. and Pectidinae. Several species, such as Arnica montana and A. chamissonis, contain helenalin, a sesquiterpene lactone that is a major ingredient in anti-inflammatory preparations. Arnica species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Bucculatrix arnicella.

Definition of arnica in the English dictionary

The definition of arnica in the dictionary is any N temperate or arctic plant of the genus Arnica, typically having yellow flowers: family Asteraceae. Other definition of arnica is the tincture of the dried flower heads of any of these plants, esp A. montana, used in treating bruises.
