peer agreement (net): +2Comarum palustre [in italics]: cincoenrama / comaro / cómaro Explanation: The English name "saberweed" seems to be used exclusively by the Siberian Health company who market a herbal tea called Uyan Nomo, containing this plant that is supposedly used traditionally in Siberia to ease pain in the joints. http://usasib.com/Comfort_Tea_for_joints But here and there, as in the first site Taña has quoted, we find "saberweed" or "saber weed" identified as Comarum palustre. http://sibhealth.com/index.php/uyan-nomo-joints-comfort-tea-... And that is definitely what it is. The name "saberweed" comes straight out of Russian. The species, named Comarum palustre by Linnaeus and commonly also called Potentilla palustris, is known in Russian as Сабельник болотный, which transliterates more or less as sabelnik bolotny. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comarum_palustre https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Сабельник_болотный There is actually a cream marketed as "Sabelnik": http://herbika.com/ointments-and-creams/sabelnik-body-cream.... So similarly "hierba sable", in Nicolás's equivalent Spanish page on this product, is a calque too, not a genuine botanical common name. The company has coined this name on the basis of the plant's Russian name. But it's a common enough plant, found not just in Siberia but northern Europe and North America, and commonly known in English as marsh cinquefoil or swamp cinquefoil or purple marshlocks. And there is some geniune support in PubMed for its anti-inflammatory properties; for example: "Antiinflammatory activity of the pectic polysaccharide from Comarum palustre" http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15885926 "Structural studies on pectin from marsh cinquefoil Comarum palustre L." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16212542 And in Spanish? Well, depending on how scientific your text is, you might want to include the scientific name, which could be Comarum palustre L. syn. Potentilla palustris (L.) Scop., to give it the full treatment. The common names suggested above come from here: http://ww2.bgbm.org/EuroPlusMed/PTaxonDetail.asp?NameId=2968... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2014-10-16 06:42:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Comaro" (with or without the accent) would be OK, I think. The active pectic polysaccharide has been named comaruman, according to the first medical article cited. "Cincoenrama" is a name applied to several species or Potentilla, so it's not very specific, and that's an argument for including the Latin name too. |
