Anthemis (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.

Anthemis (Greek name of the chamomile). Compositae. Chamomile. Pyrethrum-like heavy-scented plants, annual, biennial or perennial, members of a large, Old World temperate-region genus, used in borders and alpine gardens. Heads many-fld., the disk yellow, the rays white and yellow and (in the common cult, species) pistillate, the receptacle conical and chaffy, the achenes terete or ribbed, and either naked or bearing a minute crown: Lvs. pinnately dissected. Two or three of the species are weeds. Others are excellent border plants. The true chamomile is a medicinal plant. The hardy perennial species, which alone are grown in this country, are easily handled in the border, where they bloom from midsummer till frost. They thrive in almost any soil, but need full exposure to sun. Propagation is by seeds or division of the clumps, usually the latter. A. Aizoon, Griseb.-Achillea ageratifolia. Gn. 24:342.—A. arabica, Linn.-Cladanthus.—A. coronaria, Hort.-Chrysanthemum coronarium.—A. floribunda, Hort. Dwarf: Lvs. much dissected: fl.-heads pure white. — A. Biebersteiniana, Koch, is found in some catalogues. It is an alpine plant with pinnate Lvs., which are silvery, and yellow fls. Can be cult. only in the alpine garden.
