Might any Egyptologists here know the ancient Egyptian name for Helichrysum?

This funerary wreath is made of everlasting flowers (Helichrysum stoechas) and is more than 1,700 years old!
It was found in a tomb of the #Roman period in Hawara, #Egypt, and has survived due to Egypt's dry climate.
Dating 2nd/3rd c. AD.
On display at British Museum
