Other plants are also known as marigolds, such as corn marigold, desert marigold, marsh marigold, and plants of the genus Tagetes. The genus name Calendula is a modern Latin diminutive of calendae, meaning "little calendar", "little clock" or possibly "little weather-glass".The common name "marigold" refers to the Virgin Mary. The most commonly cultivated and used member of the genus is the pot marigold (Calendula officinalis). Popular herbal and cosmetic products named 'calendula' invariably derive from C. officinalis. ==Uses=={{Uses|fungal infections}}, {{Uses|menopause}}, {{Uses|menstrual cramps}}, {{Uses|burns}}, {{Uses|dermatitis}}, {{Uses|eczema}}, {{Uses|acne}}, {{Uses|psoriasis}}, {{Uses|ear infections}} ==Parts Used=={{Parts Used|Petals}}, {{Parts Used|flowers}}, {{Parts Used|Leaves}}. ==Chemical Composition==faradiol-3-O-palmitate, faradiol-3-O-myristate, faradiol-3-O-laurate, arnidiol-3-O-palmitate, arnidiol-3-O-myristate, arnidiol-3-O-laurate<ref name="chemical composition"/> ==Common names=={{Common names|kn=|ml=|sa=|ta=|te=|hi=|en=Agrimony}} ==Habit=={{Habit|Herb}} ==Identification=====Leaf==={{Leaf|Simple|Alternate|stalked–stalkless, lower stalks winged, upper leaves amplexicaul}}<ref name="Leaf"/> ===Flower==={{Flower|Unisexual|4–7 cm (1.6–3 in.) wide|brownish|5-20|Flowers Season is June–October}} ===Fruit==={{Fruit|Long-beaked|7–10 mm (0.28–0.4 in.) long pome|spine-backed achene|With hooked hairs|}}
