Anthemis is a genus of aromatic flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, closely related to Chamaemelum , and like that genus, known by the common name chamomile ; some species are also called dog-fennel or mayweed. Anthemis are native to the Mediterranean region and southwest Asia east to Iran. A number of species have also become naturalized in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world. ^{[3] [4] [5] [6]}

There are around 100 species within this genus. ^[7]

Anthemis species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Orthonama obstipata (The Gem) and Bucculatrix anthemidella , a leaf-miner which feeds exclusively on Anthemis tinctoria.

Cultivation and uses

Several species and cultivars are available for garden use. A. punctata subsp. cupaniana and Anthemis tinctoria 'E.C. Buxton' ^[8] have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. ^[9]
