What is the name of the magic flower that heals the queen in Tangled?

The story behind the answer

The magic flower that heals the queen in Tangled is the Sundrop flower.

In the film’s opening legend, a drop of sunlight falls from the sky and creates a golden flower with extraordinary healing and rejuvenating powers. Mother Gothel has secretly used it for centuries to preserve her youth. When Corona’s pregnant queen becomes gravely ill, the kingdom’s soldiers find the flower and use it to save her.

The queen recovers and gives birth to Rapunzel. The flower’s magic passes into the baby, concentrating in Rapunzel’s long golden hair. When Rapunzel sings the healing incantation, her hair glows and can restore youth or heal injuries. Cutting the hair makes it brown and removes its power.

The film often simply calls it “the flower,” while “Sundrop” is the established name used in Tangled-related material. It should not be confused with Rapunzel’s hair, which carries the flower’s magic after the queen consumes the flower.
