English: Common marigold Spanish: Maravilla Estonian: Harilik saialill Portuguese: Calendula Albanian: Kumak Turkish: Altuncuk Catalan: Calendula
Common marigold is a plant in the genus Calendula of the family Asteraceae. It is probably native to southern Europe, though its long history of cultivation makes its precise origin unknown, and it may possibly be of garden origin. It is also widely naturalised further north in Europe( north to southern England) and elsewhere in warm temperate regions of the world.
