King cup is a common name for marsh marigold.
Probably not. The marsh marigold is native to Northern Europe. I'm not familiar with the African Marigold, but if it comes from Africa it is probably not closely related.
NO

Which one? African Marigold is Tagetes erecta, the French Marigold is Tagetes patula, the Marsh Marigold is Caltha palustris or the Corn Marigold Chrysanthemum segetum.

An orange flower Answer. Again we have a common name confusing the issue. There are at least 5 different Marigolds. We have Callendulla officinalis the Pot Marigold. Tagetes erecta the African Marigold. Tagetes patula the French Marigold Chrysanthemum segetum the Corn Marigold and Caltha palustris the Marsh Marigold. They are not all orange, although many are, and they are not all true Marigolds.
Cape Marigold also called African Daisy ( Dimorphotheca Pluvialis) is listed as non-toxic to horses. Other types of Marigold however, such as the Marsh Marigold are toxic and need to be kept away from horses and other animals.
Rarely any do but most eat fish in water
The marigold was discovered by the Portugese in the wilderness of Brazil in the 16th century. The flower was later shi[ped to India and Africa where it adapted well.

The marigolds my grandmother grew around her garden were flowers of the sunflower family. There is also a marsh marigold, but I wouldn't call any of them shrubs, which are characterized by woody stems.
