A genus of plants in the rose family, commonly known as goat's beard, with feathery white flower plumes.
From Latin aruncus, the Roman name for this plant, possibly related to arundo (reed), due to its tall reed-like stems.
Goat's beard gets its name from medieval farmers who thought its fluffy seed heads looked exactly like a goat's long, wispy chin whiskers—pure practical botany.
