I wonder how it became the Flower of Death, when it is a healing plant? - 00515f39, Nov 1, 2009
The Wiki page calls it "Flor de Muertos" and translates it as "The Flower of the Dead" (not "death") for its use on El Día de los Muertos. - Moe, Nov 1, 2009

It is spelt correctly. The Flower of Death

La flor de Cempazuchitl o Zenpasuchitl, es conocida tradicionalmente como la flor de muerto, pero técnicamente corresponde con el nombre de caléndula, una maravilla mexicana de bello color amarillo o anaranjado.

This looks like a Mexican place name but I couldn't find it on the map.
