Ciona intestinalis
Scientific names: Ciona probably originates from the Greek, Chione,
the daughter of Boreas and Orithyia or the bi-name for Daedalions beautiful
daughter Philonis. Another possibility is that it is derived from the
Greek word kion, meaning pillar. Intestinum is Latin for intestines
and entrails, while the Latin -alis means originate.
