Arnica

== Translingual == === Etymology === Medieval Latin, of unknown origin. First attested in Matthaeus Silvaticus, possibly identical to Matthaeus Platearius. Because both heavily employed Arabic sources it gave rise to speculations of Arabic origin; from words existing in Arabic, دَرَوْنَج (darawnaj, “leopardsbane”) is the closest candidate, whence also Doronicum descends. Other origins suggested include a derivation of Latin *arna (“lamb”), corrupt of agna, or a deformation of Latin ptarmica (“sneezewort”) from Ancient Greek πταρμική (ptarmikḗ, “sneezewort”), from πτάρνυμαι (ptárnumai, “to sneeze”). === Proper noun === Arnica f A taxonomic genus within the family Asteraceae – arnica plants. ==== Hypernyms ==== (genus): Eukaryota – superkingdom; Plantae – kingdom; Viridiplantae – subkingdom; Streptophyta – infrakingdom; Embryophyta – superphylum; Tracheophyta – phylum; Spermatophytina – subphylum; angiosperms, eudicots, core eudicots, asterids, euasterids II – clades; Asterales – order; Asteraceae – family; Asteroideae – subfamily; Madieae – tribe ==== Hyponyms ==== (genus): Arnica montana – type species; for other species see Arnica on Wikipedia.Wikipedia === References === Arnica on Wikipedia.Wikipedia Arnica on Wikispecies.Wikispecies Category:Arnica on Wikimedia Commons.Wikimedia Commons Arnica at USDA Plants database Arnica at Integrated Taxonomic Information System.
