Common names include [[Tansy]] (''Tanacetum vulgare''; sometimes called Common Tansy or Garden Tansy) and [[Feverfew]] (''Tanacetum parthenium''); several other species are also known as tansies.

Asia Minor. Suitable for the rockery. This last species is not mentioned under Chrysanthemum.

Annual or perennial herbs which are odorous: lvs. alternate, variously cut: heads of small to medium-sized yellow fls. disposed in corymbs, or rarely solitary, heterogamous, disk-shaped; female fls. with 3-5- toothed, tubular corollas: achenes 5-ribbed or 3-5- angular, with a broad truncate summit, bearing a coroniform pappus or none.—Thirty-five species scattered about the northern hemisphere, of which about 7 are native to N. Amer. For cult., see Tansy.
