'''''Anthemis''''' (''[[Syllable stress of Botanical Latin|Án-the-mis]]'') is a genus of about 100 species of aromatic herbs in the [[Asteraceae]], closely related to ''[[Chamaemelum]]'', and like that genus, known by the common name '''[[Chamomile]]'''; some species are also called '''Dog-fennel''' or '''Mayweed'''. However, [[Mayweed]] is improperly used for this genus since Mayweed refers to the ''[[Matricaria]]'' genus. Anthemis are native to the [[Mediterranean]] region and southwest [[Asia]] east to [[Iran]]. They have been grown in and have become native to [[England]]/[[United Kingdom]].

''Anthemis'' species are used as food plants by the [[larva]]e of some [[Lepidoptera]] species including ''[[Bucculatricidae|Bucculatrix anthemidella]]'', a leaf-miner which feeds exclusively on ''Anthemis tinctoria''.

==Cultivation and uses==
The flowers are commonly used for tea, and the leaves, when crushed, give off a scent of apples. It grows well in light, sandy soil. Nicknamed "the plants' physician", it seems to improve the health of other plants grown near it. Chamomile flowers make a good rinse for fair hair.

==Species==
''Anthemis'' contains about 100 species, including the following:
*''Anthemis altissima''
*''[[Anthemis arvensis]]''
*''Anthemis austriaca''
*''Anthemis cinerea''
*''[[Anthemis cotula]]''
*''Anthemis cretica''
*''Anthemis haussknechtii''
*''Anthemis macedonica''
*''Anthemis marschalliana''
*''[[Anthemis nobilis]]'' (also known as ''Chamaemelum nobile''), [[Roman chamomile]]
*''Anthemis punctata''
*''Anthemis rosea''
*''Anthemis sanci-johannis''
*''Anthemis secundiramea''
*''Anthemis styriaca''
*''[[Anthemis tinctoria]]''
*''Anthemis triumfetti''
*''Anthemis tuberculata''
