Mirabilis, a term that encompasses various species and phenomena, holds a captivating allure. From the ancient Elginia mirabilis, an extinct pareiasaur that roamed the Earth millions of years ago, to the enigmatic Christina of St. Trond who bore this name in history, it has left its mark. One notable figure associated with Mirabilis is Roger Bacon, an English experimental scientist and philosopher known as "Doctor Mirabilis. " In 1867, an artist's impression depicted him in his observatory at the Franciscan monastery in Oxford. His pursuit of knowledge and exploration mirrored the essence itself. Nature also boasts its own wonders under this name. The female Welwitschia plant (Welwitschia mirabilis) showcases cones in full bloom within Namibia's Kunene region.
