Centipeda cunninghamii : ウィキペディア英語版 | Centipeda cunninghamii
''Centipeda cunninghamii'' is commonly known as old man weed, being the literal translation of its Koori name gukwonderuk. The names common sneezeweed and scent weed which were given by European settlers are increasingly falling out of use. The plant was used by indigenous Australians for its purported medicinal properties. It grows along the Murray River, or generally anywhere there is water, especially low lying or swampy areas. It can be identified by its unique shaped leaf and its pungent scent which is pine-like and minty. == Etymology == ''Centipeda'' is from the Greek word for one hundred feet The epithet ''cunninghamii'' honours Allan Cunningham (1791 – 1839), an English botanist and explorer, primarily known for his travels to Australia (New South Wales) and New Zealand to collect plants and uthor of ''Florae Insularum Novae Zelandiae Precursor'', 1837-40 (''Introduction to the flora of New Zealand'').〔
