'''''Matricaria''''' is a [[genus]] of flowering plants in the sunflower family ([[Asteraceae]]). Some of the species have the common name of "mayweed," but this name also relates to plants not in this genus. Most are very common in the temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and America as well as in North Africa, and South Africa and some are naturalised in Australia. ''M. occidentalis'' is native in North America; other species are introduced. These are hardy, pleasantly [[Aroma compound|aromatic]] [[annual plant|annuals]], growing along roadsides, in ruderal soils, and fallow land, rich in nutrients. Many are considered nuisance [[weed]]s. However they are suitable for rock gardens, herb gardens and as border plants. Their many-branched [[Plant stem|stems]] are prostrate to erect, glabrous and very leafy. Their bipinnate [[Leaf|leaves]] have numerous linear, narrowly lobed leaflets. The [[flower]]s are radially symmetrical.The greenish yellow capitula are semi-spherical. The white ray florets can be present (''M. recutita'') or lacking (''M. discoidea''). The disc florets are 4- to 5-dentate. The receptacle is 2-3 times as high as wide. The pappus may be crown-shaped and short, or lacking. {{Inc| Matricaria (mater, mother, from its use in diseases). Compositae. Matricary. Wild Chamomile. Annual or perennial weedy herbs, often heavily scented. From Chrysanthemum it differs mostly in the achenes, which are 3-5-ribbed on the interior face and ribless on the back; also in having a higher or more conical receptacle, and bracts in few rather than many series. — About 25 species in many parts of the world. The foliage is much cut or divided into thread-like divisions. The matricarias are border plants in cult., and others are intro. weeds. They are commonly confounded with species of Chrysanthemum and feverfew. The M . exima plena of the trade is a form of Chrysanthemum Parthenium (var. tubulosum). It is a good hardy annual, with white double heads, growing 2 ft. tall. Matricarias demand the care given to annual chrysanthemums. The three following are annuals or biennials. }} Describe the plant here... ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== [[Image:Matricaria_discoidea.JPG|thumb|265px|right|''Matricaria discoidea'']] * ''Matricaria acutiloba'' * ''Matricaria albida'' * ''Matricaria arabica'' * ''Matricaria arlgirdensis'' * ''Matricaria auriculata'' * ''Matricaria brachyglossa'' * ''Matricaria burchellii'' * ''Matricaria capitellata'' * ''[[Matricaria caucasica]]'' * ''Matricaria confusa'' * ''Matricaria conoclinia'' * ''Matricaria coreana'' * ''Matricaria corymbifera'' * ''Matricaria courrantiana'': Crown Mayweed * ''Matricaria decipiens'' * ''Matricaria dichotoma'' * ''Matricaria discoidea'' : Disc Mayweed (synonym of ''Chamomilla suaveolens'' (Pursh) Rydb.) * ''Matricaria fuscata'' * ''Matricaria glabra'' (synonym of ''Otospermum glabrum'' (Lag.)
