History and Etymology
The Latin specific epithet officinalis refers to the plant's medical and herbal uses.
Calendula flowers were used in ancient Greek and Roman cultures as a medicinal herb, as well as a dye for fabrics, foods, and cosmetics. The word Calendula actually comes from Caléndula (Fem.) which is Spanish for Marigold. Quite possible from Icelandic Morgunfrú which is also Morgenfrue on Danish, coming from morgen 'morning' + frue 'mistress'. Noun morgenfrue plants - calendula. I personally find the later fascinating with my work with the Morrigan who is also called the 'Morigu'. Calendula flowers are used widely in my crafting regards to transitions and death/ending for a new, the Morrigan, along with Frau Holle likewise for the same crafting intentions. |
Carl Linnaeus
(1705-1778) Also known after his ennoblement as Carl von Linné, was a Swedish botanist, zoologist, and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin, and his name is rendered in Latin as Carolus Linnæus. Linnaeus has been called Princeps botanicorum (Prince of Botanists) and "The Pliny of the North". He is also considered as one of the founders of modern ecology In botany and zoology, the abbreviation L. is used to indicate Linnaeus as the authority for a species' name. In older publications, the abbreviation "Linn." is found. Linnaeus's remains comprise the type specimen for the species Homo sapiens following the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, since the sole specimen that he is known to have examined was himself. |
