Usage notes
In New Latin, within taxonomic binomial nomenclature, officinalis (officinale) is a specific epithet in many genera of organisms, mainly plants, denoting a species that is of interest to, and is kept in, a place for pharmacy activity, including compounding; it names a kind of plant or other organism that, etymonically, belongs to a monastery's room for such activity and thus, by extension, of the herbalist's/pharmacist's/chemist's shop or physician's office (for example, Asparagus officinalis, Lua error in Module:parameters at line 828: Parameter "ver" is not used by this template., Lua error in Module:parameters at line 828: Parameter "ver" is not used by this template.); for more information see officinalis.
