A genus of plants in the parsley family, also known as water dropwort, found in wet habitats.
From Greek 'oenos' (wine) and 'anthos' (flower), though the connection to wine is unclear—possibly referring to the plants' appearance or habitat. The genus name reflects classical botanical naming traditions.
Despite its name suggesting wine-related origins, Cenanthe plants are actually toxic water plants—some species are deadly poisonous, making them one of the sneakier dangers lurking in European wetlands!
