Anthemis

Anthemis is a genus of herbs belonging to the aster family, characterized by daisylike flower heads with yellow or white ray flowers and yellow disk flowers. This genus, with over 100 species primarily found in Eurasia, is often referred to as chamomile.12

While many plants are called chamomile, the term specifically refers to species within the Anthemis genus, as well as those in Chamaemelum and Matricaria. Some Anthemis species, like stinking chamomile (A. cotula), are known for their strong scent and have been used medicinally and as insecticides. The dried flower heads of Anthemis nobilis have historically been used as a bitter tonic for stomach ailments.12
