Celandine is an oligotypic genus of dicotyledonous plants of the family Poppy (Papaveraceae). The taxonomic name of the genus was published by the Swedish taxonomist Karl Linnaeus in the first volume of the work Species plantarum. As a rule, only one species of Chelidonium majus is allocated in the genus Purity, but in some sources there is also at least one more species of Chelidonium asiaticum, previously considered a subspecies of Chelidonium majus. The reason for the name Purity was that many generations of doctors, from ancient Greek, Avicenna and until the XVIII century, considered celandine useful for the treatment of eye diseases. This belief was based on an old legend, which says that the swallow is treating the eyes of its celibate juice with its blinded chicks. The healing properties celandine are known since ancient times.
