Why the Latin/Scientific name Calendula officinalis?

In medieval monasteries, the officina was the structure—typically an outbuilding—where medical monks manufactured medications and medicinal remedies to treat the sick. There, tinctures, decoctions, infusions, dried extracts, and distillates were made. The officina was frequently connected to the herbal or medicinal gardens, which were contained inside the monastery’s boundaries. rom the officina”, the species name “officinalis” thus represented the accumulation of many years of traditional medicine and health knowledge.

Several herbs and plants whose medicinal value had been known for millennia before were given the special name “officinalis” by Linnaeus, the creator of the binomial system of nomenclature. He recognized the past therapeutic traditions by listing numerous plants with the species designator “officinalis” as a generic qualifier in his 1735 (1st Edition) of Systema Naturae. The species name “officinalis,” which means “from the officina,” thereby represented the legacy of many centuries of traditional medicine.
