geoffreycaveney's Middle English theory
#30
My favorite ID for this plant is Filipendula. There are several species and many vernacular names for this plant. In English, they include dropwort, meadwort, meadowsweet, bridewort. In Finnish, it's Mesiangervo, Danish Almindelig Mjødurt, Swedish Älggräs, in German Imenkraut, Mauch kraut, Echtes Mädesüß.

Why I like this ID (I have more pics, they are moderately common in medieval and classical texts, but these are the basics):
