'''''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]].
