'''''Filipendula ulmaria''''', commonly known as '''Meadowsweet''', is a [[Perennial plant|perennial]] [[herb]] in the family [[Rosaceae]], which grows in damp [[meadow]]s. It is native throughout most of [[Europe]] and western [[Asia]] though it has been introduced and naturalized in North America. [[Juncus subnodulosus-Cirsium palustre fen-meadow|''Juncus subnodulosus''-''Cirsium palustre'' fen-meadow]] [[plant association]]s of Western Europe consistently include this plant.<ref>C. Michael Hogan. 2009</ref>
Meadowsweet has also been referred to as '''Queen of the Meadow''', '''Pride of the Meadow''', '''Meadow-Wort''', '''Meadow Queen''', '''Lady of the Meadow''', '''Dollof''', '''Meadsweet''' and '''Bridewort'''.
The stems are 1–2 m (3-7 ft) tall, erect and furrowed, reddish to sometimes purple. The [[leaf|leaves]] are dark green on the upper side and whitish and downy underneath, much divided, interruptedly pinnate, having a few large serrate leaflets and small intermediate ones. Terminal leaflets are large, 4–8 cm long and three to five-lobed.
Meadowsweet has delicate, graceful, creamy-white [[flower]]s clustered close together in handsome irregularly-branched [[Cyme (botany)|cymes]], having a very strong, sweet smell. They flower from June to early September.
Meadowsweet leaves are commonly galled by the bright orange rust fungus [[Meadowsweet Rust gall|Triphragmium ulmariae]] which creates swellings and distortions on the stalk and / or midrib.
