This page says Arnica montana is also known as wolf's bane. The Wolfsbane page redirects to Aconitum and that page makes no reference to Arnica montana.

Suggestions: (1) remove the reference here to wolf's bane, if it isn't really right, or (2) if Aconitum is going to remain the wolfsbane page, add a note to it indicating other plants that are also known as wolfsbane, or (3) create a separate wolfsbane page that lists all the plants that are commonly called wolfsbane.

Well, #1 would not be right. There are numerous references to Arnica Montana as also known as Wolf's bane. #2 doesn't seem right either. Why should one be redirected to a page that says that there are other plants also known as..., #3 is a reasonable idea, but another would be to have a Wolfsbane disambiguation page. Both plants seem to be about equally referenced as also known as..., and this old source from 1911 has the name for both of them http://www.henriettesherbal.com/eclectic/usdisp/index.html--Alfrodull 16:25, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of any of those, I changed the link on this page for wolf's bane from the redirect to Aconitum to the Wolfsbane disambiguation page instead.Alfrodull 23:15, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Arnica?

There's also a WP page for Arnica - perhaps the two should be merged? Daniel Barlow 22:37, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
