Derivation of the botanical name:
Artedia, named in honour of Peter Artedi (1705 – 1735), a Swedish naturalist, by Linnaeus. Artedi designed the system of naming organisms by a generic name and a specific epithet, and from that Linnaeus created the binominal nomenclature and hierarchical classification that is still in use for all organisms.
squamata, scaly.
The standard author abbreviation L. is used to indicate Carl Linnaeus (1707 – 1778), a Swedish botanist, physician, and zoologist, the father of modern taxonomy.
