Edelweiss is a well-known mountain flower. As a scarce, short-lived flower found in remote mountain areas, the plant has been used as a symbol for alpinism, for rugged beauty and purity associated with the Alps and as a national symbol especially of Austria. There is a folklore associated with the edelweiss in which it is stated that giving this flower as a gift to a loved one is a promise of dedication.
The common name is from the German word "Edelweiß" as a compound of edel "noble" and weiß "white."
